YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSchool officials said Liam Conejo Ramos, a preschooler, and his father were detained in their driveway after school. When an adult known to the family offered to take Liam, ICE agents refused and instead led the boy to his front door and ordered him to knock "to see if anyone else was home – essentially using a 5-year-old as bait,” according to a news release from Columbia Heights Public Schools.
Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that ICE conducted a "targeted operation" to detain Liam's father and added "ICE did NOT target a child." She accused the boy's father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, an undocumented immigrant from Ecuador, of fleeing from agents and "abandoning his child."
