Judge denies DHS bid to rush removal of Liam Ramos and his family [View all]

The Department of Homeland Security unsuccessfully sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old formerly detained with his father by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Minneapolis, a local school official said Friday.
The government filed a motion Wednesday seeking to end asylum claims for Liam’s family, according to Minnesota Public Radio, which first reported the news Thursday night. MS NOW has not viewed the filing.
At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance, according to Kristen Stenvik, superintendent of Columbia Heights Public Schools, where Liam goes to school. Stenvik cited “a legal representative of the family” as the source of the information she shared.
The legal representative said the family expressed thanks for the outpouring of support, asked for prayers, and requested privacy, Stenvik added.
Danielle Molliver, the family’s attorney, told MPR on Thursday that the filing was “retaliatory.” Molliver did not respond to MS NOW’s requests for comment Friday. It is unclear when the family is next due in court.
