An American judge ordered the release of Liam Conejo Ramos, a five-year-old boy, and his father from a detention center, condemning the actions of the authorities as inhumane.

American district judge Fred Biery ordered the release of Liam Conejo Ramos, a five-year-old boy, and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, from an immigration detention center in Texas. Their detention sparked national outrage, being considered an action motivated by a "perfidious desire for unrestrained power." Immigration authorities claimed they did not target the child, but rather his father, an "illegal alien." The judge criticized the deportation system, emphasizing that it should be more humane and orderly. The family's lawyer mentioned that the two came from Ecuador to seek asylum and followed immigration protocols.
