A five-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, have returned to Minnesota following their detention by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The pair were taken into custody on January 20 in a Minneapolis suburb and subsequently held at an ICE facility in Texas before being released.
Their detention drew significant public attention amid the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts. A local lawmaker confirmed their return to Minnesota on Sunday.
