Judge Orders Release of Boy and Father, But ICE Compliance in Doubt
A US judge has ordered the release of a five-year-old boy and his father from a Texas detention center by Tuesday following their arrest by ICE agents in Minneapolis. The boy, who was allegedly used as “bait” by agents to access the home, became the subject of widespread outrage. The judge cited the case as an example of the government’s pursuit of deportation quotas. The family, who are seeking asylum, had presented themselves to border officers in Texas in December 2024, and their claims remain pending.
