"A federal judge in the United States has ordered the release of a five-year-old boy and his father from a facility in Texas amid an outcry over their detention during an immigration raid in Minnesota. In a decision on Saturday, US District Judge Fred Biery ruled Liam Conejo Ramos's detention as illegal, while also condemning the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty by some among us."
"The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children, Biery wrote in his ruling. Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more orderly and humane policy than currently in place."
"The judge did not specify the deportation quota he was referring to, but Stephen Miller, the White House chief of staff for policy, has previously said there was a target of 3,000 immigration arrests a day. The ongoing crackdown in the state of Minnesota is the largest federal immigration enforcement operation ever carried out, according to federal officials, with some 3,000 agents deployed."
US District Judge Fred Biery ordered the release of a five-year-old boy and his father from a Texas facility and ruled the boy's detention illegal, condemning perfidious lust for unbridled power and imposed cruelty. Photographs of the boy wearing a blue bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack became a symbol of the immigration crackdown. The case originated from ill-conceived, incompetently implemented daily deportation quotas that traumatized children. Petitioners may still return to their home country through involuntary or self-deportation, but that outcome should follow more orderly and humane policy. The Minnesota operation deployed about 3,000 agents and sparked clashes and nationwide protests.
