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

[orangecrush]

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

The Department of Homeland Security unsuccessfully sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old formerly detained with his father by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Minneapolis, a local school official said Friday.

The government filed a motion Wednesday seeking to end asylum claims for Liam’s family, according to Minnesota Public Radio, which first reported the news Thursday night. MS NOW has not viewed the filing.

At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance, according to Kristen Stenvik, superintendent of Columbia Heights Public Schools, where Liam goes to school. Stenvik cited “a legal representative of the family” as the source of the information she shared......

Arias told Minnesota Public Radio the family’s future was uncertain.

“The government is moving many pieces. It’s doing everything possible to do us harm, so that they’ll probably deport us,” he said in Spanish, according to MPR’s translation. “We live with that fear, too.”

Stenvik previously told MS NOW four other children from the school district she presides over were in the same Texas detention facility where Liam and his father were. The school district shut down Monday after receiving a bomb threat.

In her latest statement, she said the Friday ruling provides both “additional time” and “continued uncertainty for a child and his family.”
