Officials deny seeking quick end to asylum claims for the Minneapolis family of 5-year-old
AI Summary
Federal authorities are denying allegations that they are trying to quickly end the asylum claims of a Minneapolis family, including a 5-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, who was detained with his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, on January 20, 2026. The detention of Liam, captured in images that sparked public outrage, prompted accusations that the government was expediting deportation proceedings as retaliation. A lawyer for the family claimed the government's actions were "extraordinary" and possibly "retaliatory." However, the Department of Homeland Security stated that the proceedings are regular removal proceedings and not expedited, denying any retaliatory motives. An immigration judge has granted the family additional time to argue their case.
