Rep. Joaquin Castro says he’s told some detainees ‘are being kept on lockdown’ at facility where boy and his father are held

CoreCivic, which manages the South Texas Family Residential Center, referred questions to DHS. Castro was scheduled to meet Liam Conejo Ramos, 5, who was taken from his family’s suburban Minneapolis driveway last week after federal agents apprehended his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias. Liam and his father were flown across the country to the ICE detention facility for families in Dilley. The Department of Homeland Security said Liam’s father is an “illegal alien” from Ecuador and said agents took the boy with them after the father said he wanted Liam to stay with him. CNN’s Ed Lavandera and Norma Galeana reported from Dilley, Texas, and Holly Yan reported and wrote from Atlanta.
