Liam’s teacher Ella Sullivan was in visible tears during the announcement that Liam had been taken away. “He’s a bright young student, & he’s so kind & loving, & his classmates miss him, & all I want is for him to be safe & back here,” Sullivan said.

According to Columbia Heights district officials, 3 other students, all under the age of 18 have been detained by federal agents in recent weeks.

“Another adult living in the home was outside & begged the agents to let him take care of the small #child, & was refused,” Stenvik said.

“Instead,” she said, “the agent took the child out of the still-running car, led him to the door & directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”

“Why detain a 5-year-old? You can’t tell me that this #child is going to be classified as a violent criminal,” Zena Stenvik, the Columbia Heights superintendent, told reporters Wednesday.

According to Stenvik, masked agents apprehended 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos in his driveway on Tuesday as he returned home from school with his father.
