"Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, who were detained by immigration officers in Minnesota and held at an ICE facility in Texas, have been released following a judge’s order. They have returned to Minnesota, according to Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro."

Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his dad have returned to Minnesota after being released by ICE, Texas lawmaker says. The two were detained in a Minneapolis suburb on Jan. 20. Images of the young boy wearing a bunny hat and Spider-Man backpack surrounded by immigration officers caused outrage over the Trump administration immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. A judge on Saturday ordered the father and son's release.
"MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Intensive care nurses immediately doubted the word of federal immigration officers when they arrived at a Minneapolis hospital with a Mexican immigrant who had broken bones in his face and skull."

Nurses in Minneapolis doubted federal immigration officers' claims about a Mexican immigrant's severe injuries. ICE agents said Alberto Castañeda Mondragón ran headfirst into a wall while handcuffed. But hospital staff found his injuries inconsistent with that account. The seemingly implausible explanation from ICE is just one example of recent encounters that have undermined the agency’s credibility at Minneapolis hospitals and contributed to mounting friction between medical staff and immigration officers. Workers at the Hennepin County facility say ICE officers have restrained patients in defiance of hospital rules and stayed at their sides for days. The agents have also lingered around the campus and pressed people for proof of citizenship.
"The Trump administration says federal agents have “absolute immunity” from prosecution in Minneapolis. Department of Justice and Homeland Security officials have indicated that criminal investigations into the killings by immigration agents of Minneapolis protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti are inappropriate, declaring that both were domestic terrorists.
"The killing of Good and Pretti raises legal, tactical and policy questions regarding law enforcement practices by federal agents."

A policing scholar and former FBI special agent lays out the established principles of policing and constitutional law that govern how federal immigration enforcement efforts should be carried out.
"The Trump administration is quietly advancing immigration policies that attorneys and LGBTQ+ advocates say could send asylum seekers to their deaths, including by transferring queer and transgender people to countries such as Uganda and Iran, where same-sex relationships and gender nonconformity are criminalized and can be punished by imprisonment, torture, or execution."

“Anybody who’s had a fun evening on Halloween can understand what happens when somebody fully dresses up in paramilitary gear with flash bang grenades hanging off of them,” Peter Kraska, a professor at Eastern Kentucky University, said. “They’re going to walk out in public and say to themselves, ‘I am different from all these people.’ They become the enforcer. And when they look out and see the other, they see an enemy. The [paramilitary gear] gets them to react differently and think differently than they normally would.”

"Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson and Attorney General Nick Brown have issued a strong condemnation of recent federal immigration enforcement actions following the shooting deaths of two U.S. citizens in Minnesota.
"During a news conference held Monday morning in the Governor’s Conference Room at the Capitol in Olympia, Ferguson described the events as “un-American” and “outrageous in the extreme.”
"ICE is, to be blunt, completely and totally out of control," Ferguson said.
"The controversy stems from the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital, and Renee Good, also 37, by ICE and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.
"These incidents have sparked national outrage and protests, including in Washington."
