Jim Crow Love Story: Boy Freed Amid Border Battles

ICE Releases 5-Year-Old and Father Following Detention Controversy

Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father were released from ICE detention in Texas following a court order, multiple news sources confirm. The release comes after the pair were detained in Minnesota in January under disputed claims of violating federal immigration law after entering the U.S. from Ecuador in 2024.

The case sparked protests and national outcry, highlighting the contentious nature of immigration enforcement and its impact on families. According to reports, Representative Joaquin Castro escorted them back to Minnesota following their release.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) maintained that ICE did not specifically target the child. DHS officials stated that the administration remains committed to enforcing immigration laws. However, the detention drew criticism and raised questions about the handling of immigration cases involving children.

Conflicting accounts emerged regarding the family's entry into the U.S. Reports indicate the family entered the U.S. in 2024 under a now-defunct Biden-era system. The judge's order that led to their release criticized the detention, further fueling the debate surrounding immigration policies.

The case underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and border security, particularly as Democrats spar over border policy and funding.
