Liam Conejo Ramos

On January 20, 2026, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained Liam Conejo Ramos, a five-year-old boy, on his walk home from school in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, amid the Operation Metro Surge deployment to the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area. The child and his father Adrian Conejo Arias each had an active claim for asylum in the United States and were arrested in their driveway. According to witness statements and the family's attorney, there were multiple adults available to take custody of Liam, but ICE arrested him anyway.
