DHS has requested expedited deportation proceedings against family of Liam Conejo Ramos

Source: MPRNews

February 5, 2026 8:10 PM The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family. The 5-year-old returned home this week after he was detained with his father on Jan. 20 and sent to a detention center in Texas.

The Department of Homeland Security filed a motion Wednesday to expedite deportation proceedings in the family’s case, said immigration attorney Danielle Molliver with Nwokocha & Operana Law Offices.

A hearing is scheduled for Friday, although Molliver is requesting more time to respond. She said she thought the motion was "retaliatory."

"It's really frustrating as an attorney, because they keep throwing new obstacles in our way. There's absolutely no reason that this should be expedited. It's not very common," Molliver said.

1. They are retaliating against this family because a judge, in a scathing order, made them return Liam

and his father to their home. Trump's regime can't stand to lose. It's like the Abrego Garcia case, they keep tormenting the guy because they made a mistake deporting him in the first place and had to bring him back.

I can't imagine the stress of living with this over their lives. They probably aren't eating or sleeping from the stress.

Make them all citizens immediately.

This whole mission of rounding up the worst of the worst has been messed up from the start. This agency needs defunded and people held to account

Bullies always pick on younger, smaller. weaker victims. A 5 year-old is someone Dump can torment. U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar is the family's Representative which adds fuel to the retribution djt needs to feel like he's won.
