DHS fast-tracks 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father for deportation

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wants to quickly send 5 year-old Liam Ramos and his father out of the country. Images of Ramos in a blue bunny hat went viral last month after he was detained by ICE officers in Minneapolis. Ramos and his father are asylum seekers from Ecuador and have since been released from a detention center in Texas and returned to Minnesota. But the Department of Homeland Security filed a motion to expedite deportation proceedings in the family's asylum case. Ramos' attorney says the family was following all established protocols for pursuing asylum in the U.S. and should have never been detained in the first place. They called the new effort to deport the family uncommon and retaliatory. Trump administration officials have argued the family did not properly apply for asylum. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the case. Ramos and his father could be deported in a matter of weeks. A hearing in their case was scheduled for Friday. Their attorneys are requesting more time to respond to the government's motion to support the family. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Twitter:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Instagram:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on TikTok:   / scrippsnews
