"ICE is the worst of America, indeed perhaps the worst of humanity – a window into the corruption that is possible in the human soul. They are animals with the gall to call themselves men."

"[Pictures of Liam used as bait by ICE] make plain the sheer sadism of ICE and their agenda, the smallness, cowardice and moral degeneracy of people who would arm themselves to the teeth and cover their faces in order to attack a child not yet big enough to tie his own shoes."

"It need not detract from the specificity of Liam and his suffering to say that his arrest and the photos of it that were released by the school that wants him back, are a potent symbol of what Trump’s ICE raids are doing, both to Minneapolis and to the country as a whole."

"Liam’s plain blamelessness, his innocence, the useless cruelty of his capture, the bald, shameless cynicism of his use as 'bait' to capture the adults who love him – these evidence an evil I was naive enough not to know about. I am not so naive anymore."

The taking of Liam Ramos reveals the sheer sadism of ICE

It has become difficult to feel shock at the actions of the Trump administration. But this useless cruelty is shameless

^{Moira Donegan (The Guardian)}

"You're using a 5-year-old to to bait other adults to come out and then you still detain the 5-year-old while another relative is there saying if you've got to take the father at least leave the child with us and then refuses to do that. Like you you've lost your humanity. What on earth?"

"No one in this family is a criminal — least of all, a five-year-old boy.

But what ICE did was not an error. It was the policy working as designed."

"And because they did everything right, ICE knew exactly where to find them.

Agents didn’t have to investigate. They didn’t have to dismantle a criminal network or put themselves at risk. They simply showed up at a home and detained a preschooler whose backpack was still on his shoulders, despite having no deportation order and no allegation of criminality."

"Liam is five years old. He wasn’t hiding and his family wasn’t evading the law. They entered through a legal port of entry and applied for asylum, checked in repeatedly with immigration authorities and did everything the United States asked of them — because that is what the law required."
