Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his parents have spoken publicly about their experience being detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minnesota, describing ongoing fears about potential deportation.

In an interview with CBS News, the family detailed how the detention has affected the young boy, who now expresses worry about "la inmigración," the Spanish term commonly used to refer to federal immigration agents. The child reportedly continues to have concerns about being detained again by ICE.

The family's detention was part of immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota that have drawn public attention. According to the family's account, the experience has had a lasting impact on the 5-year-old's sense of security.

The Trump administration's immigration policies continue to affect the family's situation, as deportation proceedings remain active in their case. The parents spoke about how these ongoing legal proceedings have created an atmosphere of uncertainty for their household.

The case highlights the experiences of mixed-status families navigating the U.S. immigration system, particularly the psychological impact on children involved in enforcement actions. Immigration advocacy groups have previously raised concerns about the effects of such operations on young family members.
