Liam Conejo Ramos Constantly Worries About Being Detained by ICE Again, His Parents Say: "My Boy Is Very Different"
The family says the 5-year-old remains traumatized, and their lawyer warns they could be detained again if the asylum appeal fails.
- The Trump administration is appealing a federal judge's order that released 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody.
- Federal agents detained the pair in January during a targeted operation in Minneapolis, sparking international scrutiny after images of the boy wearing his school backpack and blue bunny hat went viral.
- Liam's parents told CBS News on Monday that their son exhibits psychological trauma, including hypervigilance, and frequently asks if police officers are ICE agents, fearing re-detention.
- The family's lawyer, Danielle Molliver, filed an appeal after an immigration judge granted the government's motion to terminate their asylum claim last month, though re-detention and deportation remain possible.
- Immigration enforcement in Minnesota has since been reduced following the fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, by federal agents during a separate incident.
