In a harrowing incident in Minnesota, school officials have alleged that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents used a five-year-old child as 'bait' to lure family members during a high-stakes arrest that has sparked national outrage.
The incident took place on Tuesday, 20 January 2026, when a pre-kindergarten pupil at a school in Columbia Heights, identified as Liam Conejo Ramos, and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, were detained upon their return home from school and reportedly transported to a Texas facility.
