U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have been recognized for their response to a drowning incident involving a four-year-old boy in Plymouth, Minnesota. The event took place on February 20, when the off-duty agents were dining at a local restaurant and were approached by a woman asking for help after her child became unresponsive in a hotel swimming pool.
The ICE agents immediately provided CPR to the child for several minutes until local police and emergency medical services arrived. The child was then transported to a nearby medical center, where he regained consciousness and is now alert.
The Plymouth Police Department issued a letter commending the agents for their actions and professionalism during the incident.
Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis stated: “I want to take a moment to commend the heroism and swift action taken by these agents to save the life of a sweet, innocent child. If our agents had not been there and stepped up, this would have been a tragic outcome,” said DeputyAssistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Because of their training, these two agents were able to save a life. Our agents are the best of the best. Every single day they put their lives on the line to save American lives. President Trump and Secretary Noem will always stand with our law enforcement. If you see a law enforcement officer today, thank them for their service.”
The Department of Homeland Security emphasized its support for law enforcement officers, noting that their dedication contributes to safer communities across the country.
