What made the child a threat JD? Was it the floppy ears or the Spider Man backpack?
Liam Conejo Ramos in a floppy blue hat and SpiderMan backpack that a man is holding on to.
Q: A school district alleges ICE agents detained a 5 year old after preschool. Are you proud of how you're conducting this immigration crackdown? JD VANCE: The 5 year old was not arrested. His dad was an illegal alien. So the story is that ICE detained a 5 year old -- what are they supposed to do?
My power is my vote as a Senator, and I’m not voting to send an extra dollar in funding to ICE/DHS while they trample on Minnesotans like this.
Where is our humanity? Where have our shared values of gone? How can we justify using a little boy in a bunny hat and Spider Man backpack as bait? You may have voted for the President under the guise that he was only going after thugs and criminals. He lied to you.
This family did every single thing they’ve been asked to in order to seek asylum here. Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

A U.S. citizen dragged out of his home, barely clothed, into the cold. A 5-year-old detained on his way home from preschool. This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?
ICE is detaining preschoolers. They’re breaking windows, stealing people out of their homes, forcing a U.S. citizen to walk in his underwear in freezing temperatures to a detention facility. This isn’t the way it has to be if Congress actually exerts its muscle and says no to more ICE funding.

“the agent took the child out of the still-running car, led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.” Agents later took the father and child away in a vehicle and sent them to Texas
The Columbia Heights school district says ICE detained four of its students, including a 5-year-old boy, as "bait" to draw out family members.
Terrorizing our kids is not going to make our communities safer. ICE needs to end this surge in Minnesota – and I refuse to vote to send more funding to DHS and ICE when they continue to trample on the rights of Minnesotans and make our communities less safe.
ICE finally let her go after several days.We can’t let America become a country that lets agents arbitrarily take people into custody for days with no recourse, no contact with family. That’s not who we are. Those aren’t our values.
Her family came to the United States legally and has every right to be here. But because of the color of her skin, she was snatched off the street. For days, her family had no information on where she was being held and no way to reach her.
A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).
