ICE agents in Minnesota have taken President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a shocking new low, detaining a 5-year-old boy after using him as “bait,” according to school officials.
Preschooler Liam Ramos and his dad were picked up by agents in a Minneapolis suburb after arriving home from school on Tuesday. They were apprehended and then transported all the way to a Texas detention center, according to Zena Stenvik, the superintendent of Liam’s school district in Columbia Heights. The family’s lawyer, Marc Prokosch, told The Washington Post the two are now in the custody of Homeland Security in San Antonio.
It comes amid the Trump administration’s deployment of over 2,400 Department of Homeland Security agents to the state of Minnesota. Trump officials have only doubled down on raids there in the wake of the fatal shooting of 37-year-old mother Renee Good by an ICE agent.
