An immigration judge has ordered the deportation of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his family from the United States, two months after the boy's detention by ICE agents in Minnesota first sparked global outrage.
The ruling by Judge John Burns denies the Ecuadorian family's asylum claim and directs their removal to Ecuador. The case has become a symbol of the human impact of such measures, with the Liam Conejo Ramos deportation now under appeal.
