   The Department of Homeland Security filed a motion Wednesday to expedite   
   deportation proceedings against Liam Conejo Ramos and his family,   
   according to the family’s attorney.   
      
   The family’s case is being handled by immigration attorney Danielle   
   Molliver with Nwokocha & Operana Law Offices.   
      
   A hearing is scheduled for Friday, although Molliver is requesting more   
   time to respond. She called DHS’s motion “retaliatory.”   
      
   Ramos is the 5-year-old whose detention by Immigration and Customs   
   Enforcement agents late last month triggered national outrage. The boy   
   and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, were returned home to Minnesota   
   last weekend after a scalding opinion from U.S. District Judge Fred   
   Biery ordered their release.   
      
   “The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and   
   incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation   
   quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children,” Biery   
   wrote in his opinion.   
      
   Ramos and his father are from Ecuador and entered the United States in   
   December 2024. Upon arriving at a recognized port of entry in Texas,   
   they presented themselves to border officials and applied for asylum   
   through the CBP One app, according to a press release from U.S. Rep.   
   Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas, announcing her visit with them at their   
   detention facility.   
      
   U.S. Congressman Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, who escorted Ramos all   
   the way home from Dilley’s South Texas Family Residential Center, posted   
   a video to Instagram Friday encouraging his followers to “keep speaking   
   up” about the boy and the issues facing immigrants ensnared in the Trump   
   administration’s mass deportation system.   
      
   “[Liam] was traumatized at Dilley, but now the Trump administration is   
   trying to take him away again,” Castro said while traveling to   
   Pearsall’s South Texas ICE Processing Center, a detention facility for   
   adults.   
      
   Also located about an hour away from San Antonio, the Pearsall facility   
   is at the center of complaints relating to medical care, access to   
   attorneys and food.   
      
   “There have been 911 calls over the months that have come from there of   
   different very troubling, alarming episodes and so we’re going to go   
   check it out,” said Castro, referring to a June article by the Current   
   detailing the flurry of calls from inside the lockup, including reports   
   of suicide attempts, sexual assault and other disturbing allegations.
