How did ICE come to detain a five‑year‑old in Minnesota and what happened to Liam Conejo Ramos?
Ice has hit a new low as federal agents detained a five year old in Minnesota. School officials say that the kid was used as bait to lure people out of a home. Is this what deporting only dangerous criminals has turned into? We are going to break down exactly what happened and why everybody in this country should be outraged. Plus, Trump chickens out on his own tariffs after hyping them for months. He backs down after allies and Republicans and the stock market freaked out and Greenland. It's not happening, my friends. There's no plan. There's no details. And NATO says it didn't even come up during their meeting with Trump. Then Caroline Leavitt as a historic meltdown and historic, I would even say trying to clean up Donald Trump's cognitive mess and dementia has gone mainstream.
AOC and other members of the House straight up saying something's wrong with his brain. Gavin Newsom going not only there, but at Trump's ego. saying Trump's Davos speech was boring and insignificant. It was. And so we are covering all of it today as global shame and humiliation rain down upon the United States. And that sounds pretty bad, but we'll have some positive stuff as well. Glad you're with us. Let's do a show today.
I was five years old when I came to the United States from Argentina. I knew two words in English. They were blue and stop. And now we learn that a five year old boy has been detained by Trump's ice goons this week in a Minneapolis suburb. This is the little boy. He was coming home from preschool. And if you don't see this as a disgusting national level crisis, you are part of the problem. This is Liam Ramos. Agents stopped him and his father in their driveway. His father ran agents, stayed with the kid. They had the kid knock on the door of the house to see who else was inside. And the school district now says he was used as bait. That is not activist rhetoric. He was he was literally used as bait to lure people out of the house.
This happened in Columbia Heights, Minnesota. School officials say that at least four kids from the same district have been detained this month. A 10 year old, a 17 year old pulled up, pulled out of a car on the way to school. Another 17 year old and a mom detained in an apartment. Armed masked agents taking kids out of their lives in the middle of the day. And the Trump administration's line is still the same. They told us this was about violent criminals. Remember that sales pitch that we got, which many of us never believed? First, it was we're going to go after the dangerous ones, the worst of the worst murderers who are undocumented gang members, et cetera. And then it shifted. It became we are going to deport all undocumented immigrants.
And now we are here detaining little kids, preschool, kindergarten, using kids as leverage. I guess it would be preschool, actually, because if the kid is five now, we'd be starting kindergarten in the fall. And according to the district, another adult begged the agents, don't take Liam. And they refused. His older brother came home 20 minutes later, found the house empty. Dad gone, little brother gone, five year old gone. They are now in federal custody in Texas. The family's lawyer says that they've been following the asylum process. They presented themselves at the border. They applied. They waited. They did what they were told to do. You don't just come in. You go to the border and you say asylum is why I'm here.
They did everything right. And this is the result. Every single person in the country should be outraged by this. Even if you want deportations of adults who have committed crimes, even if you want deportations of adults who have committed no crime but have committed the civil infraction of being here undocumented. If you think the border is out of control, if you voted for Trump. You still should be outraged here. If you see this and you shrug, you are part of the moral rot and indifference that made this possible. Even some media outlets aren't ringing the alarm on this. Every single media outlet should be blasting the story nonstop.
