Summary
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to release a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father from immigration detention in Texas within three days. The boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, was taken into custody by ICE agents in Minneapolis earlier this month, sparking outrage. The judge criticized the government’s “ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented” pursuit of daily deportation quotas, citing the Declaration of Independence and the Fourth Amendment. The Department of Homeland Security claimed the boy’s father abandoned him, but neighbors alleged the government used the boy as “bait”.
