ICE Releases Father And Son After Judge's Order
5 weeks ago
Five‑year‑old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, have returned to Minnesota after being released from a Texas detention facility following a federal judge’s order.
The pair were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a Minneapolis suburb on January 20 as part of a broader enforcement operation and transported more than 1,300 miles to the Dilley family detention center.
Their release came after a judge ruled they should be freed, and Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro personally escorted them back to Minnesota over the weekend.
The detention drew widespread attention after images of Liam wearing a bunny hat and a Spider‑Man backpack circulated online, sparking public outrage.
The U.S. government says the father entered the country illegally, while the family’s attorney maintains they legally sought asylum and have a pending claim
