Federal Judge Frees 5-Year-Old Backpack Activist From Deportation Game Show

KEY POINTS

•Judge Fred Biery ordered Liam Ramos and his father released from immigration detention by Tuesday after their January arrest in Minneapolis.
•Biery condemned the Trump administration’s deportation quotas as harmful and cited historic grievances and Bible verses in his order.
•The Department of Homeland Security denied targeting the child, while Liam’s family had applied for asylum and was following protocols.

On a chilly January weekend, U.S. District Judge Fred Biery—Clinton’s gift to the judiciary—blasted the Trump-era deportation frenzy as 'ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented,' ordering five-year-old Liam Ramos and his dad Adrian Conejo Arias to be released by next Tuesday. Liam’s infamous blue bunny cap and backpack ignited uproar after federal agents grabbed them from Minneapolis, turning the city into a ‘deadly tinderbox’ that’s less Game of Thrones, more bureaucratic meltdown. Biery’s dissent played Shakespeare to DHS’s denial: quoting King George, Bible verses like 'Jesus wept,' and Benjamin Franklin’s constitutional finger-wag, while DHS insisted Liam was not bait—because nothing screams innocence like smuggling toddlers at preschool pick-up. Meanwhile, Deputy AG Todd Blanche promised to appeal, pledging the government loves paperwork more than compassion.

Nothing screams ‘protection’ like turning a preschool pickup into a federal hostage drama starring a 5-year-old with a backpack. Meanwhile, government officials claim innocence like it’s a courtroom drama no one’s buying.
