Rep. Eric Swalwell Raises Concerns Involving 5-Year-Old in Criticism of ICE Director

  • Democratic members of the House Homeland Security Committee accused ICE of systemic abuse during a tense oversight hearing, which ICE officials denied as misleading or false.
  • Rep. Eric Swalwell used the case of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, detained during an ICE operation targeting his father, to demand Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons' resignation; Lyons refused.
  • The Department of Homeland Security stated that Ramos's father was the target of an arrest, and ICE agents cared for the child after his mother declined custody; ICE officials defended their actions and rejected calls to resign.
  • No formal resignations or actions resulted from the hearing, which occurred amid ongoing Congressional budget negotiations for Homeland Security.
