When she arrived, Stenvik said the father’s car was still running and the father and son had already been apprehended. An agent had taken Liam out of the car, led the boy to his front door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in, “in order to see if anyone else was home – essentially using a five-year-old as bait”, the superintendent said in a statement.
Stenvik said another adult living in the home was outside during the encounter and had pleaded to take care of Liam so the boy could avoid detention, but was denied. Liam’s older brother, a middle schooler, came home 20 minutes later to find his father and brother missing, Stenvik said. Two school principals from the district also arrived at the home to offer support.
Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family has an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived to the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point.
“The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,” he said. “They did not come here illegally. They are not criminals.” He said there was no order of deportation against them and he believes the father and son have remained together in detention.
That is one of the sadder pictures I’ve seen in a long time.

Unidentifiable masked men with guns abducting children in america with the federal government’s stamp of approval, the judiciary doing nothing to stop it, and it’s all supposedly “to protect the children.”
Maganazis are evil.
Next they’ll be in the delivery room cuffing the baby before the umbilical cord is cut.
Why do that when we have 5 great lakes?
If the president can do it, so should ICE!
I look forward to the day all of these nazis face justice.
Unfortunately, it likely won’t be in my lifetime, but I do think it will happen and the thought of them all staring down the barrel of a gun at least brings me some solace.
Fucking monsters.
Oh, they’ll get the mothers onto boats in the Gulf of Mexico (not America) to give birth in “Mexican” waters so they don’t have to deal with that pesky birthright citizenship.
They’re just getting rid of birthright citizenship.
Can they at least give him a chance to get shot at school?
They’re getting worse each week these Americans.
