A top ICE official, Marcos Charles, accused Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias of abandoning his 5-year-old son, Liam, during an arrest in Minneapolis, despite claims from school officials and the family’s attorney that the child’s mother was home and begging for him. Charles stated that while Arias fled, officers cared for Liam, but a family member’s request to take him in was denied. The family is in the U.S. seeking asylum and has no deportation order, with Liam currently at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. The situation has sparked controversy over the treatment of the child by immigration authorities.
