In a dramatic and unexpected twist during Minnesota's heightened immigration enforcement operation, two women detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) claim they stepped in to help an ICE agent suffering seizures whilst in custody.
The incident has raised questions about frequent encounters between detainees and federal agents, as well as medical preparedness and accountability within the immigration enforcement system. According to the women's accounts shared with the Star Tribune, depicted in a TikTok video, and detailed in reporting, the pair—identified as Tippy Amundson, 39, and Heather Zemien, 55—said the incident occurred whilst they were being transported in the back of an ICE SUV in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
