In Minnesota, five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, an Ecuadorean asylum seeker, was detained by ICE agents and sent to a Texas immigration facility, triggering national outrage. Visuals showed the terrified child being taken by armed and masked officers in an SUV. Kamala Harris condemned the action, calling it cruel and inappropriate, while ICE claimed Liam’s father fled during the arrest, leaving the child behind. Witnesses said the family and school offered to care for Liam, but ICE refused. Vice President JD Vance defended the officers, stating they acted to protect the child while apprehending his father. The incident has reignited debates over the treatment of children in US immigration enforcement.
