What recent ruling was made regarding an Ecuadorian boy and his father?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Louise Schiavone. A federal judge has issued a ruling ordering that a five-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father being held in a detention center be released. Texas Public Radio's Jerry Clayton has more.
ruling by U.S. District Judge Fred Beery was a harsh rebuke of the Trump administration and ordered the release of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Alexander Conejo Arias. The two were detained in Minnesota by immigration officials. Local school officials and the young boy's mother say he was used as bait to get her to open the door of their home.
They were taken to a detention center about 70 miles southwest of San Antonio. Last Wednesday, protests erupted outside the facility and two protesters were arrested. Judge Beery accused the Trump administration of ignoring the Declaration of Independence and, quote, traumatizing children. The order requires the pair's release to a public place no later than Tuesday.

The latest batch of Epstein files includes new details about powerful people that were in the Epstein orbit. NPR's Stephen Fowler explains.
Strung among the new files are conversations with high-profile figures that are deeper and in some cases more recent than we knew before. People like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, even President Trump's new Federal Reserve chair pick Kevin Warsh shows up on an invite list to a Christmas gathering in 2010.
Being mentioned in the files are not indications of wrongdoing or association with Epstein's crimes, but victims of Epstein's abuse have expressed frustration that those who are involved remain hidden while some of their information is exposed in these files.
With 3 million new pages released, much remains to explore from Epstein's private emails, financial documents, and other communications that widen the web of Epstein's associates. Stephen Fowler, NPR News.
