Five-year-old detained by ICE 'depressed and sad': US congressman
January 30, 2026
|Cape Times
A US Democratic congressman said on Wednesday that a five-year-old boy detained with his father by federal immigration agents in Minnesota was “depressed and sad” in a detention facility in Texas.
-
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, who are asylum seekers from Ecuador, on January 20.
Images of the preschooler wearing a blue bunny hat and backpack being held by officers who were seeking to arrest his father rekindled public outrage at the federal immigration crackdown, during which agents have shot dead two US citizens.
Local school officials said agents used the boy as “bait” to draw his father out of his home.
