A five-year-old boy was on his way to a soccer game when federal immigration agents detained him and his father, who are now being held in a notorious Texas detention center that local officials and members of Congress are demanding be shut down.
Liam Tadeo was due to start kindergarten this week when his father was put in handcuffs after a traffic stop in Austin, Texas, on August 16, according to video of the arrest and statements from family members. Footage shows federal agents walking his father in handcuffs while Liam, in tears, holds his father’s hand.
