ICE
Judge Orders Release of 5-Year-Old, His Dad From Custody
Published
The 5-year-old and his father detained by ICE in Minnesota are free to go … so says a federal judge.
The order — cited by CNN — reportedly states authorities should release Liam Ramos and his father “as soon as practicable” … but no later than Tuesday, February 3.
As we told you … Liam was allegedly used as “bait” when federal agents reportedly told him to knock on his front door to see if any adults were home — according to Minnesota Public Radio News.
Liam — seen wearing a blue cartoon bunny beanie with little ears hanging down the sides and a Spider-Man backpack — was taken away with his father in an SUV and transferred to an ICE facility in Dilley, Texas … a town about 70 miles from San Antonio.
ICE received a ton of backlash for detaining a preschooler … with a lawyer representing Ramos’ family even calling the decision immoral.
While some have claimed Liam’s mother wanted to take him, ICE agents have insisted she didn’t … and they’ve denied ever using Liam or another child as “bait.”
