""The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportations quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children," US District Judge Fred Biery said in his ruling. Biery was appointed by Democratic former-President Bill Clinton. Stephen Miller, a top adviser to US President Donald Trump and the architect of his hardline immigration policy, told Fox News last year that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has a daily quota to arrest 3,000 undocumented migrants a day."
"Biery also cited the Bible in his order and included a photo of Ramos: Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.""
A federal judge ordered the release of Adrian Conejo Arias and his 5-year-old son Liam Ramos from federal custody, requiring their release by Tuesday. The pair had been detained during a Minneapolis immigration raid and taken to a Texas detention center after a viral photo of Ramos sparked national backlash. The judge criticized the government's deportation quotas as ill-conceived and harmful to children, cited the Bible in the order, and noted political context including a claimed ICE daily arrest quota. The government contends the pair entered illegally, while their lawyer maintains they entered legally to apply for asylum.
