Judge orders release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and father from ICE detention center

Judge Fred Biery criticized enforcement quotas driving detentions and ordered the release of Liam Ramos and his father by Feb. 3, citing constitutional concerns and trauma risks.

  • A judge ordered the U.S. to release 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father from a Texas detention center after they were detained in Minneapolis last month.
  • U.S. District Judge Fred Biery stated, "the case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas."
  • Neighbors reported that federal immigration officers in Minnesota used Liam as "bait" to capture his mother.
  • Since reopening last year, detained families have reported poor conditions at the detention center, including worms in food and inadequate medical care.
