New Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin said Thursday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents working at New York’s JFK Airport saved a 1-year-old’s life this week.
The incident happened on Wednesday as the agents worked the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) line, with the infant unable to breathe for almost two minutes.
In a video shared on X, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the agents could be seen springing into action upon becoming aware of the issue.
“The ICE agent sprang into action and saved this one-year-old child’s life. If our agent had not been there and stepped up, this would have been a tragic outcome,” Mullin said in a press release. “Despite the endless smears and lies told about them by sanctuary politicians and the media, our ICE officers show up every day to protect the Homeland and their fellow Americans.”
ICE agents were posted at several airports across the United States on Monday, as lengthy security lines formed amid a DHS shutdown that left TSA agents without pay.
