This week in Minnesota, ICE agents took a 5-year-old boy named Liam Conejo Ramos from his driveway after he came home from preschool.
Let that sink in: A 5-year-old boy. In his own driveway. After a day of preschool. According to school officials, agents pulled the child from his father's still-running vehicle, walked him to the door of his home, and made him knock—using a kindergartner as bait to see if anyone else was inside.
When another adult begged the agents to let them care for the child, they refused. Instead, they took Liam and his father. The boy's middle school-aged brother came home to find them both gone.
Liam is now being held in a detention center in Texas – 1,500 miles from home. His family has an active asylum case with no order of deportation. His preschool teacher says he "comes to class every day and brightens the room."
This child is five years old.
Armed federal agents are stalking school buses. Using children as bait. Separating families who are following legal asylum processes. Creating terror in American communities.
This is not normal. This is not American. And this cannot stand.
We can stop this; if we work together.
