US EditionTexas Democrats Demand 5-Year-Old's Release From ICE Facility in Dilley
Rep. Joaquin Castro visited the Dilley ICE center to inspect conditions for detained children and demand the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos amid protests and conflicting reports.
- On Jan. 28, Rep. Joaquin Castro visited 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias at the Dilley detention center.
- Taken Jan. 20 in Minnesota, Liam Conejo Ramos, 5-year-old, and his father Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias were transferred to the Dilley detention center about 85 miles southwest of San Antonio.
- In public comments after the visit, Castro said, `'I told him we would do anything that we could to get him out of there. I demanded from ICE they release him. I told them that most of America wants Liam released. And he should be released immediately,' Castro said.`
- A federal judge issued a temporary order Jan. 26 that prohibits the father and son's removal while their court case proceeds, and Rep. Joaquin Castro plans to return to San Antonio to brief the public and hold a rally.
- Advocates allege unsanitary conditions and inadequate care at Dilley, while Representative Tony Gonzales said, `To be frank, it is in better condition than some of our schools here in San Antonio,` and several hundred protesters are expected Wednesday.
