So Castro visited the detention center earlier in the day with Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, and they met with Liam Ramos and his father for about 30 minutes.
And Castro said the boy appeared physically and emotionally affected by his detention.
Castro said the family entered the U.S.
legally and are waiting for their asylum case.
And earlier this week on Monday, Liam Ramos' mother in Minnesota said that her son is getting sick from the quality of food in the facility.
That's right.
So this one started after guards ordered an immigration attorney to leave while detainees, many of them children, poured into open areas of the center and chanted,
or freedom.
Now, this is according to that attorney who captured it on his phone.
Later, there was drone footage by the Associated Press that showed large crowds in the outside portions of the facility.
Now, attorney Eric Lee said his clients that he later spoke with told him the detainee protests also was triggered by concerns over the treatment of Liam Ramos and the overall conditions at the facility for the other children.
So ICE didn't respond to our request for comment, but the Department of Homeland Security has said that the child was taken into custody after his father fled an encounter with agents.
DHS says agents followed federal law and standard enforcement procedures in the case, but we should note that bystanders and school board officials who witnessed the incident have contradicted DHS's version of events.
Now, a federal judge in San Antonio ruled this week that Liam Ramos and his father cannot be removed or transferred from the facility while the court case for their release continues.
It also pauses any attempt to deport them.
Thanks, Leila.
If it's your first time at a tamalada during the holidays, get ready to be put to work.
You'll be handed a spoon, a few dozen corn husks, the masa to spread on them, and probably some pork to stuff it with.
It's an annual tradition for Hispanic families like the Riojas in San Antonio.
Family member Anna Fossum says gatherings like tamaladas are about connecting with every branch of the family.
