The Trump administration has filed for the #expedited #deportation
of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos
and his family,
days after a federal judge ordered their release from immigration detention.
The 5-year-old and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias,
were detained by federal agents last week and sent to a Texas detention facility,
before they returned to Minneapolis on Sunday after a judge ordered the government to release them.
"He was traumatized in Dilley,
but now the Trump administration is trying to take him away again,"
Rep. Castro said in a post on X,
referring to the Dilley detention center in Texas.
"The Department of Justice has filed for expedited deportation,
which would take him away again."
An official with the 5-year-old's school district confirmed in a statement that
the asylum hearing, originally scheduled for later this month,
was moved up to today (Friday).
