5-Year-Old Liam Ramos Is In His Asylum Hearing Right Now (www.huffpost.com)

In a stunning development, the Department of Homeland Security expedited its asylum hearing for five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his family to Friday morning, meaning it's possible they could be deported as soon as today.

Ramos and his father had just returned home to their Minneapolis suburb last week after being held in a Texas detention facility. They were locked in there for 12 days, with Ramos' health deteriorating, despite DHS providing no evidence of Ramos’ father being in the country illegally or having a criminal record.

Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), who helped bring Ramos back home from ICE detention last week, said the preschooler “was traumatized” at the facility and now faces being shipped out of the country.

They only care about the children until they're born. After that, fuck the children.
