Judge Orders Release of 5‑Year‑Old Liam in ICE Raid
Judge Fred Biery orders release of 5‑year‑old Liam Conejo Ramos after ICE raid.

On 20 January 2026, U.S. ICE agents seized five‑year‑old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, from a Minneapolis driveway after the boy returned from preschool. The Ecuadorian national‑father was flown over 1,000 miles to a Texas detention center. U.S. District Judge Fred Biery, based in San Antonio and appointed by former President Bill Clinton, ordered their release by Tuesday, citing the ill‑conceived, “traumatising” immigration crackdown tied to Trump‑era deportation quotas. The judge condemned the use of a child as “bait.” The raid sparked protests and intensified tensions amid Minneapolis’ 2,000‑agent ICE deployment and prior federal‑officer shootings in the city. Advocacy groups urge non‑resistance to ICE unless a warrant is shown.
