"Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack."

Liam and his father posed sitting on the stairs, Liam is wearing his blue bunny hat and activating the ears. Dad has a little smile but both look emotionally spent.

Liam is standing on the same stairs by himself squeezing the puffs that make the ears on his hat go up.

Liam sitting on his couch with some of his belongings including a plush Pikachu. He has a little smile. Congressman Castro stands behind the couch looking at him with a smile.

A really long hand-written letter to Liam on Congressman Castro's letterhead saying he shouldn't have had to go through that and how many Americans were rooting for him and that immigrants make the US stronger.

"I hope he gets his pilot wings and gets to see the cockpit, if he wants to."

Some very kind pilots on the delta flight from San Antonio - Minneapolis today. 5 year old, Liam Conejo Ramos was in Heaven. What a difference 24 hours make. From DHS detention in Texas - to this. Being a kid again. And now, Liam is home again. — Screenshot from John Quiñones, showing Liam Ramos getting to sit in the plane cockpit and try out the controls.

"We know that four more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE."
