Nick Benson was able to follow that up and uncover something about that story that nobody else in the public has been able to see.

When I said the name Liam Ramos, you instantly pictured him, right?

This is Liam Conejo Ramos standing in his neighborhood, blue bunny hat, black and white check coat, Spider-Man backpack, and one of Trump's federal agents standing behind him with his hands on the backpack on a snowy street in Columbia Heights, Minnesota.

This happened while Trump was crowing about how the people being taken by his masked agents are all terrible criminals and monsters, the worst of the worst.

And there's little five-year-old Liam in his bunny hat and his backpack.

the real picture of who they're picking up.

The day after school officials took that photo, they announced that Liam and three other local kids from the same school had been grabbed by ICE agents along with their families.

And then we learned that within one day of them snatching him off the street, ICE had already taken Liam and his father all the way from Minnesota to Texas.

They'd taken them to a notorious prison, the Dilley Detention Center, just outside San Antonio, a place where they lock up men and women and children, where prisoners have testified to horrific conditions.

And if you've followed this story of little five-year-old Liam, you might remember that we know how Liam and his dad got out of Dilley, right?

You remember this?

A week after they were taken, Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro visited Liam and his dad at Dilley.

He sent out this heartbreaking picture of Liam not looking well in his father's arms.

There was continuing national uproar over this case, over what had happened to this little kid and his family.

And then just days after that visit from the congressman, on February 1st, the Trump administration decided that they were going to release Liam.

and his father from Dilley.

And the government flew Liam back to Minnesota.

And you might have seen the images from that, right?

A crew from ABC News was there as the very, very nice pilots who were very kind to him, gave him a lot of attention and let him sit in the pilot's seat and gave him his own little pilot's wings.
