"Bad Bunny giving one of his Grammy awards to a little boy was one of the most moving moments in his Super Bowl halftime performance - and not just because the kid was absolutely adorable. As Variety (and many people on social media) noted, the child "certainly resembled Liam, the 5-year-old who was incarcerated by ICE in Minneapolis last month." A photo of Liam Conejo Ramos went viral when masked ICE agents detained him and his father."
"School officials accused the agents of using the boy, who was wearing a Spider-Man backpack and a blue bunny hat, as "bait" to lure other people from his house. While the father and son recently returned home from a Texas detention center after a judge ordered their release, they were in the news again on Friday because the federal government filed a motion to expedite their deportation."
Bad Bunny gave one of his Grammy awards to a little boy during his Super Bowl halftime performance. Many viewers interpreted the gesture as referencing immigration detention because the child resembled Liam, a 5-year-old who had been detained by ICE in Minneapolis. A photo of Liam and his father in custody went viral after masked ICE agents detained them; school officials alleged the agents used the boy as "bait" to lure others. The father and son returned from a Texas detention center after a judge ordered their release, but federal prosecutors moved to expedite deportation. The boy who appeared in the show was identified as child actor Lincoln Fox.
