DHS Releases More Details About That 5-Year-Old Who Was 'Detained' by ICE

Earlier this week, Rep. Ilhan Omar had a fit after a 5-year-old boy was detained by ICE after being used as bait.

ICE just detained a 5-year-old child.

Don’t tell us this is about “the worst of the worst.” That’s a lie.

Absolutely vile.https://t.co/YAADttsNlv

Speaking of the worst, how about the boy's father, an illegal alien from Ecuador who took off running and left his 5-year-old alone, abandoned. DHS posted, "Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children, or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates."

According to Frank Luntz, DHS says they took the boy to his mother, but she refused to open the door.

New developments in the case of 5-year-old Liam Ramos in Minneapolis:

DHS says the boy’s mother refused to open the door to take her son after the father was detained outside their home. The father then told officers he wanted his son to stay with him.https://t.co/tLmfZQ2b3S

A lot of people are skeptical of DHS.

However, the DHS and local school superintendent’s stories both are consistent in saying Liam’s mother did not open the door to take custody of the 5-year-old boy.
