1:02Now PlayingA federal immigration judge has ruled against the asylum claims of a Minnesota kindergartner and his family, according to their Minneapolis lawyer.
The 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos from Columbia Heights, Minn., received national attention after he was detained by U.S. immigration authorities and sent to a Texas family detention center along with his father. In February, the Department of Homeland Security filed a motion that sought to end the family’s asylum claims.
The family's attorney says the law firm will appeal the decision, a process that could take months or even years. If the family loses the appeal, they are expected to be deported to Ecuador, their country of origin.
