The Department of Homeland Security unsuccessfully sought to expedite deportation proceedings against the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old formerly detained with his father by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in Minneapolis, a local school official said Friday.

The government filed a motion Wednesday seeking to end asylum claims for Liam’s family, according to Minnesota Public Radio, which first reported the news Thursday night. MS NOW has not viewed the filing.

At an asylum hearing Friday, the family was granted a continuance, according to Kristen Stenvik, superintendent of Columbia Heights Public Schools, where Liam goes to school. Stenvik cited “a legal representative of the family” as the source of the information she shared.

The legal representative said the family expressed thanks for the outpouring of support, asked for prayers, and requested privacy, Stenvik added.

Danielle Molliver, the family’s attorney, told MPR on Thursday that the filing was “retaliatory.” Molliver did not respond to MS NOW’s requests for comment Friday. It is unclear when the family is next due in court.

1. They don't even care about how bad they look

The demand for expedited deportation shows that much.

Or perhaps they know that their supporters are so evil, they'll get their rocks off on deporting five-year-olds.

4. That's the problem... they DO get their rocks off on it...

small children, girls, women, disabled, elderly... the more vulnerable the greater the orgasm for them, I swear...

2. Good.

There are no lowest depths of depravity that they will not plunge to out of anger and bitterness, drenched in the evils of their insanity.

3. Immediately . . .

. . . one night soon around midnight the entire family needs to just vanish. Take what they can stuff in a couple of trash bags -- don't forget the bunny hat and the backpack.

Leave Minnesota under cover of darkness, head somewhere unknown, we need an organized underground to handle this kind of thing.

7. Yes, but as a witness protection program or go to Canada.

Spain is taking immigrants and refugees.

But, how much can this family take. They need to be able to settle and heal.

5. Keep Liam safe from the GOP pedophile racket

6. They should only be deported if their asylum claim is adjudicated and denied

8. Which is a high likelihood...

Depending upon where the case is heard. Some ridiculous percentage of immigration judges were appointed by Trump and many of them-regardless of whom appointed them- have extremely high rates of denying asylum claims (some are like 99%).
I’m way behind on a study of this, but I ought to get my shit together and investigate.

9. I believe most who get denied were because they came for economic reasons

That doesn't meet the criteria. Historically I believe that only about 1/3 of asylum claims were granted.
