"As soon as practicable following a use of force and the end of any perceived public safety threat, DHS LEOs shall obtain appropriate medical assistance for any subject who has visible or apparent injuries, complains of being injured, or requests medical attention, the agency policy states. This may include rendering first aid if properly trained and equipped to do so, requesting emergency medical services, and/or arranging transportation to an appropriate medical facility."
"No evidence of medical support assigned to ICE or homeland security on the scene has emerged. Video from the scene does not show federal agents rendering aid to Good. Heller said from what she saw, Good would not have been likely to survive the close-range shots to the head by the ICE agent. But it took 15 minutes for an ambulance to arrive because vehicles were blocking the street, she said."
An ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, reportedly with close-range shots to the head. Federal officers blocked the road with their vehicles, preventing bystanders and medical personnel from approaching Good's vehicle. A man who identified himself as a physician was rebuffed when attempting to check for a pulse. No evidence emerged of medical support assigned to ICE or Department of Homeland Security personnel on the scene. Hennepin EMS from Hennepin County Medical Center were the first responders; an ambulance took 15 minutes to arrive and struggled to get through due to blocked streets. Department of Homeland Security policy requires federal law enforcement officers to obtain appropriate medical assistance and to render first aid when practicable.
