"A judge ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos. You'll remember Liam from the striking photo showing him being detained by ICE outside his Minneapolis home last month. Liam and his father spent more than a week inside a Texas detention facility before they released, both are back in Minneapolis now, where Liam has been reunited with his mother and his blue cartoon bunny hat."
"We should note that while DHS described Liam's father as a, quote, illegal alien, their attorneys say that the family entered the United States legally and were in the midst of applying for asylum and communicating with the government. One thing, especially notable about this case is the scathing rebuke of the Trump administration by the U.S. district judge, in his opinion, ordering Liam's release. Judge Fred Biery, a Clinton appointee, accused the Trump administration of, quote, traumatizing children, unquote, through what he calls, quote, ill-conceived and incompletely implemented or, I'm sorry, incompetently implemented daily deportation quotas. The judge actually calls his opinion a civics lesson at one point. And then there's this biting line where he says, quote, for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest knows no bounds and are bereft of human decency and the rule of law be damned, unquote. That's quite an order from a federal judge about the Trump administration."
A federal judge ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father after more than a week in a Texas detention facility. The family returned to Minneapolis where Liam reunited with his mother. DHS described the father as an "illegal alien," but attorneys say the family entered legally and were applying for asylum while communicating with the government. The judge sharply rebuked the administration, calling its daily deportation quotas ill-conceived or incompetently implemented and saying the policies traumatize children. Multiple federal judges have accused the administration of ignoring at least 96 court orders.
