Judge orders release of 5-year-old boy and father from immigration detention center

A judge has ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father from immigration detention, according to a source. The decision comes after the family was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at a facility in Texas.

Liam’s mother, who wishes to remain anonymous, recounted her terror when she was separated from her son during an ICE raid. She described being told to open the door of her home, where Liam was being held, as “Mommy, open the door.”

The family had been living in the US without proper documentation. The father, who also wished to remain anonymous, met with a US congressman and expressed concerns about his son’s mental health, stating that he has been “depressed” since being detained.

Protesters gathered outside the facility where Liam was being held, calling for his release. The judge’s decision to order their release is not clear, but it appears to be a response to public pressure and advocacy from the community.

The family will now be released from detention, although the exact terms of their release are not yet known.
