The lawless Malignant Fascist and his lawless domestic terrorists get a (temporary?) setback in their effort to apply their cruel and bigoted policies to a 5-year-old and his father:
On Saturday, as this longest of months comes to a close, a federal judge in Texas granted a writ of habeas corpus ordering the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias.
“[T]he Court finds that the Constitution of these United States trumps this administration’s detention of petitioner Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R.,” U.S. District Judge Fred Biery wrote in Saturday’s opinion. “The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED pursuant to the attached Judgment.
The viral photograph of the small Ramos in a blue hat in the Minnesota winter wearing a bookbag being gripped by a federal agent led to outrage, and it has become a symbol of the meaningless cruelty of the administration's extreme immigration enforcement efforts.
Biery, a Clinton appointee, included the photograph in his ruling, which excoriated the Trump administration for “the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children.“
Under the judgement entered by Biery, Ramos and his father are to be released “to a public place as soon as practicable, but in any event, no later Tuesday, February 3, 2026,“ with advance notice being given to their lawyer.
We have to see if this order is carried out, as multiple judicial orders have been ignored by the MF's goons.
BONUS: Comic book artist and illustrator Wilfredo Torres wanted Liam to know that people were thinking and worrying about him, even as the MF's goons were traumatizing him:
For Liam.
