A Trump-appointed immigration judge has denied asylum for 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his family and ordered their removal to Ecuador. A judge, by the way, with a 96% asylum denial rate nearly triple the national average. The family never even got to present their full case before he shut it down.

This is the same child ICE agents used as “bait” to gain access to his home. The same child who was dragged 1,300 miles to a Texas detention facility while his pregnant mother waited in terror behind a closed door. The same child a federal judge called a victim of the government’s “ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented pursuit of daily deportation quotas.”

They never stopped coming for him. His family’s lawyers are appealing the decision a process that could take months or even years. That means this family has to wake up every single day not knowing if today is the day they get ripped apart.
