NY Times Caterwauls About Little Boy “Detained” By ICE

Detention of 5-Year-Old by Federal Agents Incenses Minneapolis

A 5-year-old boy wearing a Spider-Man backpack and an oversized hat was detained with his father by immigration authorities on Tuesday, one of four students who have been apprehended in a suburban Minneapolis school district during the past two weeks, school officials said.

The prekindergarten pupil, Liam Conejo Ramos, is pictured in a photo released by the school system as he stands next to a vehicle with an adult’s hand on his backpack. His father is not in sight. The image prompted outrage in the Twin Cities area, where many people have been angered since mid-December by the Trump administration’s surge in deportation operations.

“Why detain a 5-year-old?” Zena Stenvik, the superintendent of schools in Columbia Heights, Minn., asked at a news conference about the episode on Wednesday.

Exactly what happened on a snow-covered block in Columbia Heights during the arrest is in dispute. The small school district and the federal government have given conflicting accounts.

No, it’s really not, but, the Times will give it a shot

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said in a statement that when the agents sought to detain the father, he fled on foot and left Liam behind in the vehicle.

Ms. McLaughlin said that Mr. Conejo Arias was Ecuadorean. She did not suggest he had any criminal record, and he does not appear in any Minnesota criminal court records.

Yeah, that is what happened

The kid wasn’t detained or abducted or any of the other things the unhinged are saying: his father abandoned him when law enforcement came calling

School officials said that they had reviewed paperwork showing that Mr. Conejo Arias’s family has an active asylum case and no order of deportation. School officials accused immigration agents of making the child knock on the door of his home as “bait” to apprehend others, something that immigration officials denied.

Were the school officials there are at the home? If so, that’s weird. If so, why is there no video? Did the NY Times attempt to find out? Or, just take their word? This is the state of today’s “reporting”. The information was known at least half a day before the Times published this late Thursday. But, really, most of the Credentialed Media ran with it, which is rage baiting and could get people killed.
