End snip

DHS failed in this attempt to expedite deportation. Liam and family could have been deported as early as today today if 🧊 nazis had prevailed.

It's about time the judges ruled in this way.

Now do it for the rest of the asylum seekers.

Kristen Stenvik, superintendent of the district where Liam goes to school, said the ruling provides both “additional time” and “continued uncertainty.”

The Department of Homeland Security unsuccessfully sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old formerly detained with his father by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Minneapolis, a local school official said Friday.

The government filed a motion Wednesday seeking to end asylum claims for Liam’s family, according to Minnesota Public Radio, which first reported the news Thursday night. MS NOW has not viewed the filing.

At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance, according to Kristen Stenvik, superintendent of Columbia Heights Public Schools, where Liam goes to school. Stenvik cited “a legal representative of the family” as the source of the information she shared......

Arias told Minnesota Public Radio the family’s future was uncertain.

“The government is moving many pieces. It’s doing everything possible to do us harm, so that they’ll probably deport us,” he said in Spanish, according to MPR’s translation. “We live with that fear, too.”

Stenvik previously told MS NOW four other children from the school district she presides over were in the same Texas detention facility where Liam and his father were. The school district shut down Monday after receiving a bomb threat.

In her latest statement, she said the Friday ruling provides both “additional time” and “continued uncertainty for a child and his family.”
