5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and father return to Minnesota from Texas ICE centre
The child and his father were detained on January 20 after the boy was allegedly used as bait to lure his family from their home
Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, who were detained by immigration officers in Minnesota and held at an ICE facility in Texas, have been released following a judge’s order. They have returned to Minnesota, according to Texas politician Joaquin Castro.
The two were detained in a Minneapolis suburb on January 20. They were taken to a detention centre in Dilley, Texas.
Katherine Schneider, a spokeswoman for the Democratic congressman, confirmed the two had arrived home. She said Castro picked them up from Dilley on Saturday night and escorted them home on Sunday to Minnesota.
Associated Press emailed the Department of Homeland Security for comment on the father and son’s release. There was no immediate response.
