Judge Orders Release of 5-Year-Old and Father from ICE Detention Over Quotas Critique

A federal judge in San Antonio ordered the immediate release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from ICE detention in Texas after they were detained in Minnesota, criticizing the Trump administration’s quotas-based enforcement as traumatizing to children. Biery had previously ruled they could not be removed for now; the father has a pending asylum claim, and the case drew protests and renewed scrutiny of detention conditions at a Texas facility holding about 1,100 detainees.
