💨 Abstract

A Texas Congressman, Joaquin Castro, visited Liam Conejo Ramos, a young boy detained by ICE with his father. Liam gained international attention after a photo showed him terrified and wearing a Spider-Man backpack. Castro reported that Liam appeared exhausted and depressed. A judge ordered that Liam and his father cannot be deported until their legal proceedings are finished, but concerns about their welfare remain. Protesters outside the detention facility were met with chemical irritants.
