Trump admin pushes fast-track removal of 5-year-old asylum seeker, Castro says

The Trump administration reportedly filed for expedited deportation of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father after a judge ordered their release from immigration detention in Minneapolis; the family, who had a pending asylum claim but no deportation order, were previously held in Texas and then returned to Minnesota as their asylum hearing was moved up. DHS says this is a standard removal proceeding, not expedited removal, while critics emphasize the harm to children and urge stability and schooling as policy debates continue over asylum enforcement.

Nationwide protests surge as courts hand mixed rulings on immigration policy

Anti-ICE demonstrations span the U.S. this weekend with rallies in major cities and a nationwide shutdown, while courts issue mixed rulings on Trump-era immigration policies: a Texas judge orders the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from detention, but Minnesota authorities lose a bid to halt Operation Metro Surge. Local leaders pledge to scrutinize federal immigration activity, and other related developments—such as arrests of journalists and a DOJ civil rights probe into a police shooting—highlight ongoing tensions over immigration enforcement and policy.

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.

Texas Democrats Push for Freedom for 5-Year-Old Detained by ICE

Democratic lawmakers visited Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old detained by ICE with his father in Minnesota and later moved to a Dilley, Texas facility, and called for the immediate release. They cited the boy’s depression and loss of appetite, while DHS said the child was not targeted or arrested. A federal judge temporarily blocked their deportation as they challenge the case in court, and protests occurred outside the detention center.
