Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, are being held at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, following their detention earlier this month, according to PEOPLE.
The boy’s mother, Erika Ramos, told Minnesota Public Radio on Monday that her son is experiencing stomach pain, vomiting, and fever.
So I’m very, very concerned about his well-being in that facility.”Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, visited the father and son at the detention center on Jan. 28.
Welch’s organization has met with hundreds of children in detention facilities who showed signs of trauma, sadness, and depression after short periods of detention.
“We need families to be reunited and for the lawlessness of the immigration actions to cease.”The Department of Homeland Security has claimed Liam’s father, an Ecuadorian national, entered the U.S. illegally in December 2024, PEOPLE said.
