Liam Conejo Ramos, released. A federal judge in Texas has ordered this Saturday that the five-year-old boy detained by ICE agents be released with his father from the immigration detention center that he had been in since January 20.
Judge Fred Biery’s ruling calls for the release of the Ecuadorian boy and his father by Tuesday at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dille, according to the newspaper. Express-News.
According to the newspaper, the judge has indicated in his ruling that the case against the minor and his father “has its genesis in the search for evil conceived and incompetently implemented by the Government of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children.
Four minors, including Liam, and a ten-year-old girl, were detained on January 22 in the Columbia Heights school district in Minnesota by ICE immigration agents as part of the intensive raids that the Administration of President Donald Trump is carrying out in this state and
Arrested after leaving school
Liam and his father were stopped in their driveway on Tuesday, just as they were returning from school and taken to the family detention center in Texas, when an image of the boy wearing a blue bunny winter hat and carrying a Spider-Man backpack while a masked federal agent stood behind him was widely circulated.
This week a group of congressmen, including Joaquin Castro, visited the center to evaluate their conditions and also met with the boy’s father, whose deportation was also blocked by the court. During the visit, the parent assured that his son “has not been himself” since the family was detained and he is concerned for his well-being.
The lawyers representing the Ramos family announced that they are legally in the United States as part of an asylum request, but the Immigration agency assures that the permit expired last April. His defense has denounced that the conditions in this center are terrible:
- The water is in poor condition and is often undrinkable.
- The food has insects, dirt and other debris that makes it inedible.
- Children do not receive education; They barely have an hour a day, which actually works more like a daycare.
- The guards treat them very harshly, they humiliate them.
What has happened in the last few hours?
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, ordered this Saturday withdraw the presence of federal agents at demonstrations in Minneapolis (Minnesota) and other Democratic cities, but promised that they will continue to defend facilities owned by the federal government.
The president’s order comes after the outrage generated in the country by the death of two protesters by federal agents during protests against immigration raids in Minneapolis. “I have instructed the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, to stop various poorly managed Democratic cities unless they ask us for help,” he announced on the Truth social network.
The president, therefore, leaves in the hands of state and local governments the responsibility of guaranteeing security during protests and responding to possible disturbances.
However, he added that federal agents will protect “with great firmness, all federal buildings that are being attacked by these lunatics, agitators and paid insurrectionists.” “Spitting in the faces of our officers will not be allowedthe headlights of our vehicles will not be punched or kicked, nor will stones or bricks be thrown at our vehicles or at our Patriotic Warriors. If so, these people will suffer equal or greater consequences,” he warned.
