Charges dropped against women who claimed to help ICE officer
Charges have been dropped against two Twin Cities women, Tippy Amundson and Heather Zemien, after one of them helped an ICE agent during a medical emergency. The women were initially accused of interfering with federal officers during an operation in January in Brooklyn Park. However, while detained in the agents' vehicle, an agent suffered a seizure. The women stepped in to help, moving a tactical vest to keep him warm and protect his head. Now, the federal charges against both women have been officially dismissed.
