🍊 Sh*tler retaliates against 5 yr old boy [View all]

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/02/05/liam-conejo-ramos-dhs-requests-expedited-deportation-proceedings-for-family

The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family. The 5-year-old returned home this week after he was detained with his father on Jan. 20 and sent to a detention center in Texas.

The Department of Homeland Security filed a motion Wednesday to expedite deportation proceedings in the family’s case, said immigration attorney Danielle Molliver with Nwokocha & Operana Law Offices.

A hearing is scheduled for Friday, although Molliver is requesting more time to respond. She said she thought the motion was "retaliatory."

"It's really frustrating as an attorney, because they keep throwing new obstacles in our way. There's absolutely no reason that this should be expedited. It's not very common," Molliver said.
