A 5-year-old boy from Minnesota has fallen ill while detained with his father at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Texas, with family members and school officials expressing alarm over his deteriorating condition, PEOPLE reports.
Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, are being held at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, following their detention earlier this month, according to PEOPLE. The boy’s mother, Erika Ramos, told Minnesota Public Radio on Monday that her son is experiencing stomach pain, vomiting, and fever.
“Liam is getting sick because the food they receive is not of good quality. He has stomach pain, he’s vomiting, he has a fever, and he no longer wants to eat,” Ramos said, describing the situation as “deeply concerning.”
Zena Stenvik, superintendent for Columbia Heights Public Schools District where Liam attends, characterized the mother as “incredibly distraught” in an interview with the Huffington Post.
“Unfortunately, Liam’s health is not doing great right now,” Stenvik said. “He’s been ill. I’ve been told he has a fever. So I’m very, very concerned about his well-being in that facility.”

What is the best way to make sure that all of America knows they appear to be trying to add a 5 year old child they used as bait to their list of murder victims?
LET THEM OUT!!!
Fucking kid deserves it. Never should have come here to take our jobs and social security
This is heartbreaking as shit. I swear to god if something happens and that kid takes a turn I’m gonna go fucking postal on this whole administration.
But it’s ok that they put a 5 year old in detention ? Why wait for something more to happen ?
I don’t even wanna wait. We should be collectively tearing down the walls to these facilities and freeing them from the atrocious conditions already on display.
Will you? Do you mean postal as in you’ll mail a letter? Or…
Because, I’m familiar with donating to crowdfunded legal representation.
They’re killing a CHILD Behind Bars after MURDERING Adults in the Street and IGNORING Judges! And Americans HATE this? Well it’s OBVIOUS to me! They need some MORE FUNDING (and Rules!)!
-Democrats LITERALLY!
I have to be careful not to slap my forehead when reading headlines like this because it would be so hard that my head would fly off, and blood would shower the room Tarantino-style.
