DHS Fast-Tracks 5-Year-Old Liam Ramos and His Father for Deportation
DHS seeks to speed removal of 5-year-old asylum seeker Liam Conejo Ramos and his father after their detention and release, amid claims of legal compliance and procedural retaliation.
- On Friday, federal lawyers filed to expedite the deportation of Liam Conejo Ramos, 5-year-old boy, and his father Adrian Conejo Arias from Minnesota.
- Since October, federal lawyers have increasingly sought to pretermit asylum cases, while DHS charges Conejo Arias entered illegally and the family’s lawyers say they entered legally through a humanitarian program.
- They were taken into custody on January 20, 2026, flown over 1,000 miles to Dilley, Texas, and a judge ordered their release on January 27, 2026, with their return to Minnesota on January 31, 2026.
- Critics, including Georgetown law professor Philip Schrag, argue the case reflects a broader push to quickly detain and deport migrants, with Schrag stating, `This is just part of a much larger picture is, you know, in which the Trump administration is doing everything it possibly can quickly detain and deport as many migrants as possible.
