US EditionICE detains four children from Minnesota school district, including 5-year-old: Report
- On January 20, 2026, federal agents detained 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, transporting them to a Texas immigration detention facility.
- The detentions occurred amid Operation Metro Surge, a DHS-led enforcement effort that began in December in Minnesota, deploying about 3,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities to target immigration violations.
- School officials say masked federal agents removed the 5-year-old from the still-running family car and directed him to knock on the front door, while refusing custody to an adult resident outside the home.
- District leaders said nearly one-third of students have stayed home in recent weeks out of fear, while immigration attorney Marc Prokosch said the family has an active asylum case with no deportation order and is exploring a possible habeas corpus petition in Texas.
- DHS responded that `ICE did NOT target a child` and said one officer stayed with the boy for safety, while civil-rights advocates and local officials called for scrutiny amid protests in Minneapolis.
