The federal government is aggressively trying to shut down the asylum claims for Liam Conejo Ramos and his family, filing an uncommon motion designed to expedite their deportation. That’s the absolute newest development in a case that’s already seen a lot of emotional turmoil, and it’s putting immense pressure on the five-year-old and his father.
One of the reasons ICE came under fire last month was because of their encounter with 5-year-old Ramos. Instead of turning him over to the family after the encounter, he was sent to a detention center. It took a Federal judge ordering their release to ensure that Ramos and his father made it home last week. However, their relief was short-lived when the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) filed a motion asking to fast-track the entire deportation proceeding.
