I can only imagine the nightmares 5-year-old Liam Ramos is having. Last week Liam and his father were detained in Minneapolis as they arrived home from his preschool. The two were then sent to a Texas detention center. Liam has been asking about his classmates, mom, family, blue bunny taken by an ICE agent and his backpack. This without a doubt is emblematic of the inhumane treatment that Trump’s regime is perpetrating on Latino communities. U.S. Minnesota District Judge Patrick Schiltz said of ICE conduct, “The extent of the violations and list should give pause to anyone — no matter his or her political beliefs — who cares about the rule of law. ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.” Why such lawlessness by ICE? U.S. AG Pam Bondi said, “Nothing will stop President Trump and this Department of Justice from enforcing the law." I wonder if her statement includes unlawful conduct by DHS?
