AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Five-year-old Liam Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, were released from a Texas immigration detention center and returned to Minneapolis on Sunday after being detained by ICE agents on January 20th. The detention followed their arrest near their home in Columbia Heights, a Minneapolis suburb, after Liam returned from preschool. The arrest sparked national outrage due to claims that Liam was used as bait to apprehend his mother. A judge ordered their release, criticizing the government's pursuit of deportation quotas. While the school district stated the family has an active asylum case and no deportation order, the Department of Homeland Security claimed the father abandoned the child and the mother refused custody.
