ICE releases 5-year-old Liam Ramos and father from custody, lawyer says

  • Returning to Minnesota, U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro said he picked up Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from Dilley and flew home with them on Feb. 1.
  • Family attorneys counter that they entered at the Brownsville, Texas port of entry in 2024 and used the CBP One app to seek asylum, contradicting DHS claims they fled.
  • Neighbors and school officials say the viral photo shows the boy in a blue bunny hat and Spider-Man backpack, with video showing agents removing him from a preschool driveway, sparking outrage.
  • U.S. District Judge Fred Biery wrote that the court order found the confinement unlawful, barred removals during the release, and cited the viral photograph and constitutional concerns.
  • The case has intensified scrutiny of Operation Metro Surge, which reported over 3,000 arrests and sparked protests at Dilley detention center protests.
