A five-year-old boy and his father detained by immigration officers in Minnesota and held in Texas have been released following a judge’s order. They have returned to Minnesota, according to the office of Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro.
Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, were detained in a Minneapolis suburb on Jan. 20 before being taken to a detention facility in Dilley, Texas.
Katherine Schneider, a spokesperson for Castro, confirmed the two had arrived home. She said the Texas congressman picked them up in Dilley on Saturday night and escorted them home on Sunday to Minnesota.
Castro wrote a letter to Liam while they were on the plane to Minnesota, in which he told the young boy he has “moved the world.”
The court order ordering their release is a must read.
It’s short, but absolutely roasts the regime. It…
- quotes the Declaration of Independence and Benjamin Franklin
- includes a section that begins with, “Civics lesson to the government:…”,
- includes the phrase, “the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency,”
- etc, etc
If I was a lawyer and got that kind of judgement, I would just hang up my hat in shame and get a job burning french fries. Sadly, these fucknuts lack any ability to feel shame, all the way to the top.
Damn, this is excellent. Chock full of gems like footnoting the Magna Carta as a reference (to a group of attorneys it’s like the judge saying, “Remember children, this is where our law comes from!”), and my personal favorite at the top of page 2,
Apparent also is the government’s ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence . . .
No one can throw shade like a pissed off judge. Thank you for the link.
Still no real world consequences, just stern letters.
I didn’t think they were going to follow the orders, this is awesome.
If I were them I’d be looking for asylum in a different country now.
Especially since you know those goons will be hunting for them now. They are not safe.
They’re gonna get Pretti’d if they don’t escape
Good, release the rest of the prisoners.
That is the best news I have seen all day!
From Minnesota all the way to freaking Texas… almost wish they would secede from the union at this point. Then they can’t pull this kind of bullshit ‘extradition’.
