In more related news, 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father reunited with family members in Minnesota on Sunday after they were released from an ICE family detention center in Texas amid mounting pressure from activists and elected officials. Congressmember Joaquin Castro shared footage on social media as he welcomed Liam and his father, Adrian Conejo, outside ICE’s South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley and flew with them home to Minneapolis. Liam and his father were detained in a suburb of Minneapolis last month. Images of Liam went viral after he was picked up by federal agents while still wearing his Spider-Man backpack and a blue hat with bunny ears. Castro visited Liam and his father inside Dilley last week as protests intensified demanding Liam’s release, as well as the release of all immigrant families detained in Dilley, where children and their parents led a protest last weekend over inhumane conditions. Congressmember Ilhan Omar later posted a photo with Liam and his father, with a caption that read in part, “Liam is home now.”

According to The Marshall Project, the Trump administration detains around 170 immigrant children per day, compared to 25 children a day under President Joe Biden.
