Four Columbia Heights Students Detained by ICE Including 5-Year-Old

Four students, including a 5-year-old with an active asylum case, were detained by ICE in two weeks, causing fear and a one-third drop in school attendance, officials said.

  • Wednesday, Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old prekindergartener at Valley View Elementary, and his father were detained by ICE, with a photo showing an agent holding Liam’s backpack.
  • Columbia Heights officials say the detentions reflect a recent pattern of enforcement in the district, with four students detained by ICE over two weeks including a 17-year-old and a 10-year-old taken with their mothers, while the Ramos family has an active asylum case.
  • ICE officials staged operations at the AKpútu Tá Education Center, Roseville, and reportedly used a child to check a home, refusing another adult’s offer to care for him.
