We are learning more today from school officials in Columbia Heights, Minnesota after they say a 5-year-old boy was used as "bait" for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as a means of detaining him and his father. This comes as Columbia Heights Public Schools Superintendent Zena Stenvik says four students have been detained by ICE. 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was detained Tuesday afternoon. According to reports, the child was just arriving home from preschool when he and his father were apprehended in their driveway. "This family is following U.S. legal parameters and has an active asylum case with no order of deportation. I have viewed the legal paperwork with my own eyes," Stenvik previously said. "Why detain a 5-year-old? You cannot tell me that this child is going to be classified as a violent criminal."
