Officials deny seeking quick end to asylum claims for the Minneapolis family of 5-year-old

The family was detained during immigration enforcement and released after a judge's order; their pending asylum claim is under standard removal proceedings, officials said.

  • Federal authorities have denied attempting to expedite an end to asylum claims by the family of a 5-year-old boy who was detained with his father during the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis.
  • Images of the boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, wearing a bunny hat and Spider-Man backpack surrounded by immigration officers stirred outrage over the crackdown.
  • The government said the boy's father entered the U.S. illegally from Ecuador in December 2024 and the family's lawyer said he has an asylum claim pending that allows him to stay in the U.S.
