ICE has taken 4 students from one Minneapolis school district alone:
A public school district north of Minneapolis said ICE agents detained four of its students in recent weeks, including a 5-year-old.
Zena Stenvik, superintendent of Columbia Heights Public Schools, said in a Wednesday news conference that four of the district’s students had been “taken” by ICE agents in recent weeks, Two of the students were on their way to school, she said.
They are fucking taking kids off the street.
And it’s worse than that: they are using kids as bait:
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained a five-year-old Minnesota boy on Tuesday as he returned home from school and transported him and his father to a Texas detention center, according to school officials.
Liam Ramos, a preschooler, and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway, the superintendent of the school district in Columbia Heights, a Minneapolis suburb, said at a press conference on Wednesday. Liam, who had recently turned five, is one of four children in the school district who have been detained by federal immigration agents during the Trump administration’s enforcement surge in the region over the last two weeks, the district said.
Liam and his father had just arrived home when they were detained, according to Zena Stenvik, the superintendent, who said she drove to the home when she learned of the detentions.
When she arrived, Stenvik said the father’s car was still running and the father and son had already been apprehended. An agent had taken Liam out of the car, led the boy to his front door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in, “in order to see if anyone else was home – essentially using a five-year-old as bait”, the superintendent said in a statement.
Stenvik said another adult living in the home was outside during the encounter and had pleaded to take care of Liam so the boy could avoid detention, but was denied. Liam’s older brother, a middle schooler, came home 20 minutes later to find his father and brother missing, Stenvik said. Two school principals from the district also arrived at the home to offer support.
And before the crap about blaming the parents for not “following the rules” begins:
Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family had an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived to the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point.
“The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,” he said. “They did not come here illegally. They are not criminals.” He said there was no order of deportation against them and he believes the father and son have remained together in detention.
A fucking 5 year old used as bait by men who have something seriously wrong with them. This is Liam Ramos:
And when the kids get to the prisons, they are deliberately mistreated:
“Children’s food contaminated with worms and mold, limited clean drinking water, inadequate medical care among allegations raised by migrant families in court filings about conditions their CHILDREN faced in federal custody.”The “pro life” partypopular.info/p/ice-has-st…

What the fuck is going on?
Bombard your elected officials with Liam’s photo. Demand they find out why children are being taken and deliberately mistreated.
This fucking country.
This feels right:
