Five-Year-Old Detained by ICE is 'Depressed and Sad,' Says Congressman
- •A five-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, detained by ICE in Minnesota, is reportedly "depressed and sad" according to US Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro.
- •Liam and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, were detained by ICE last week; Castro visited them in a detention facility in Dilley, Texas.
- •Congressman Castro expressed concern for Liam's mental state, stating the country demands his release and no child should be in such detention.
- •A federal judge in Texas, Fred Biery, has temporarily blocked the deportation of Liam and his father, ordering they cannot be transferred out of the district.
- •The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated ICE did not target the child, but rather his father, an "illegal alien" who allegedly abandoned Liam during the operation.
Why It Matters: A five-year-old boy detained by ICE is suffering mental distress, prompting a congressman's concern and a judge's deportation halt.
