US EditionICE releases 5-year-old Liam Ramos and father from custody, lawyer says
A federal judge found insufficient cause to detain Liam and his father, ending their week-long hold at a Texas ICE facility amid ongoing asylum proceedings.
- On Sunday, a federal judge ordered the release of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, who returned to Minnesota, confirmed by Rep. Joaquin Castro.
- The family's attorney said DHS officials said the father fled on foot and DHS transferred them to Dilley, Texas, after detention in a Minneapolis suburb on Jan. 20.
- A judge criticized the government in his order and highlighted a viral photo of Liam in a blue bunny hat and Spider-Man backpack, drawing national attention.
- The court barred any removal or transfer and required immigration officials to notify the petitioners' attorney at least two hours before release, directing the clerk of the court to close the case.
- Protests at Dilley earlier this week, and nationwide outcry, followed the case becoming a flashpoint in immigration policy debates, with lawmakers traveling there.
