"Amundson, a kindergarten teacher who has received CPR and first-aid training through school emergency planning, moved without hesitation once the cuffs came off. The agents stepped out of the vehicle, leaving the driver's door open, the engine running and the keys inside. Weapons were still in reach. Amundson ran around the car and knelt beside the agent, trying to turn him onto his side. She spoke to him calmly, telling him he was safe and that help was coming."
"When he began to lose consciousness, she moved his gun from its holster so she could position him properly. She cradled his head as another seizure came. Zemien, a personal care attendant, grabbed one of the agents' tactical vests from the ground, rolled it up and slid it under his head to keep his airway open. She told the agents to shut the car doors so he wouldn't lose body heat."
Two women were handcuffed in the back of an ICE SUV in Brooklyn Park when an agent began having a seizure while stopped at a red light. The SUV lurched over a curb and came to rest on the sidewalk. Tippy Amundson, 39, a kindergarten teacher who has received CPR and first-aid training, had her cuffs removed, moved the agent's gun from its holster, cradled his head and worked to keep his airway clear. Heather Zemien, 55, a personal care attendant, slid a tactical vest under his head and urged agents to close the car doors. Both were released after detention and were allegedly told by a federal officer to tell others they had been treated well.
