Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father have been ordered released by a federal judge in Texas.
Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, asylum seekers who were arrested last week in Minnesota, were ordered to be released by a federal judge in Texas on Saturday.
U.S. District Judge Fred Biery ordered the boy and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, released from the immigration detention center at Dilley "as soon as practicable" but no later than Feb. 3.
"Any possible or anticipated removal or transfer of Petitioners under this present detention is prohibited," the judge wrote in his order.
The boy was apprehended by immigration officials shortly after arriving home from preschool while his father was in their driveway, school officials said last week.
Both were taken to a federal detention facility in Texas.
