HEROIC: ICE Agent Saves the Life of Baby Boy at JFK Airport

This is incredible!

A heroic ICE agent just saved a baby boy’s life at JFK Airport.

While the 1-year-old infant and his family were waiting in line, the child suddenly became unresponsive and stopped breathing.

An ICE agent who had been deployed to assist the TSA immediately rushed in to help and performed the Heimlich maneuver.

Thanks to his quick action, the boy started breathing and regained consciousness minutes later.

Homeland Security shared security footage from the scene:

At JFK Airport, as travelers waited in hours-long lines, an infant became unresponsive and stopped breathing. The panic of the child’s family and nearby passengers were heard by an ICE agent stationed at a checkpoint.

This heroic officer immediately sprang into action—rushing toward the cries, taking the child, and performing a Heimlich maneuver that restored the infant’s breathing after nearly two minutes.

This officer’s extraordinary bravery embodies the selfless service of DHS law enforcement.

God Bless that ICE agent.

What a hero.

In response to the incident, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin shared a statement:

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 could have been a tragic outcome.

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 could have been a tragic outcome.

Despite constant attacks from the media and sanctuary politicians, these agents show up every day to protect the Homeland and their fellow Americans. We are extremely grateful for their heroic action today.

Notably, this is the second child that ICE has helped save in recent times.

About a month ago, ICE agents rescued a young boy who nearly drowned in a hotel pool.

Fox News has more on that:

On Feb. 20, a 4-year-old boy was saved by off-duty ICE agents in Massachusetts when he fell into a hotel swimming pool and almost drowned.

The agents happened to be inside a restaurant in Plymouth when they were approached by a panicked woman seeking assistance for the unresponsive child.

The agents performed CPR before paramedics arrived.

“If our agents had not been there and stepped up, this would have been a tragic outcome,” ICE said at the time. “Because of their training, these two agents were able to save a life. Our agents are truly the best of the best. Every single day they put their lives on the line to save American lives.”

Democrats are being proven wrong about the types of men and women employed by ICE in real time.

They’ve been telling us for over a year that we should hate ICE.

In fact, that’s the reason they are stalling DHS funding in Congress right now.

And, just recently, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries told the nation that ICE is just “sitting around” airports “doing nothing.”

For reference, here’s that clip:

HAKEEM JEFFRIES: ICE is "sitting around… doing nothing."

Have you no shame, @RepJeffries ? https://t.co/vGfCj4G3Tw pic.twitter.com/1OR3XE2S6o

Ironically, that description sounds a whole like what Democrats in Congress are doing — not ICE!

ICE is busy helping to fix the mess that Democrats created at airports, and saving a life or two while they’re at it.

They are heroes working for the American people — quite the opposite of Democrat Congressmen like Hakeem Jeffries.

This X user is spot-on:

One thing is abundantly clear to American citizens: ICE has done more for them than Hakeem Jeffries ever will!

But, what do you folks think?

Do you approve of ICE agents more than members of Congress?

Any thoughts?
