Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father released from Texas detention | ICE (US Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
A five-year-old boy and his father returned to Minneapolis on Sunday after being released from a Texas immigration detention center where they were held for more than a week. According to US House of Representatives representative Joaquin Castro.
“Liam is home now, with his hat and backpack. Thank you to everyone who demanded freedom for Liam,” Castro, a San Antonio Democrat, said in a post on X. “We won’t stop until all children and families are home.”
The Texas politician said he picked them up from the detention center and brought them back to Minneapolis early Sunday.
Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on January 20.
A viral photo of a five-year-old preschooler wearing a bunny hat and plaid coat has sparked outrage across the country following claims it was used as bait to arrest the child’s mother, who was arrested in the driveway of her home.
