The action was prompted by the detention of five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father by ICE in Minneapolis, who were subsequently sent to the South Texas Family Detention Center in Dilley. The coalition demands an end to family detention, citing documented abuse and neglect in detention centers. Children's Defense Fund–Texas and local advocates organized a vigil at Austin City Hall to protest family detention at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, following ICE's transfer of five-year-old Liam Ramos and his father from Minneapolis to the facility. The vigil is part of a national call to end family detention, with U.S. Representatives conducting an oversight visit of the facility and advocates citing conditions including medical neglect, hunger, and inadequate access to clean water. Approximately 40 women detained at Karnes County Residential Center in Texas participated in a five-day hunger strike to protest detention conditions, low wages ($3/day), and lack of bond opportunities. The women, many of whom fled to the U.S. due to safety concerns, ended the strike and gave ICE 10 days to release them. Participants and their children were placed in solitary confinement in the medical wing as retaliation for the strike. Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos from Ecuador and his father Adrian Conejo Arias were detained at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley after their arrest in Minneapolis. U.S. Representatives Joaquin Castro and Jasmine Crockett visited the facility and called for their release, noting the child's deteriorating mental health. During protests on January 28, Texas Department of Public Safety troopers deployed pepper spray and pepper ball projectiles against demonstrators, resulting in two arrests. Dozens of migrant families held a protest at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, demanding freedom and opposing federal immigration enforcement tactics. The demonstration was sparked by attention to 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, who were detained by ICE in Minnesota and transferred to Dilley. A federal judge blocked their deportation, and on Wednesday, lawmakers and community leaders planned to call for their release and urge more humane enforcement practices. Scripps News interviewed parents detained at an ICE family detention center in Dilley, Texas, including Aury Cadena, who spent 50 days there with her three children despite a 20-day legal limit for children in detention. Detainees filed hundreds of complaints about inadequate medical care, including long wait times for medical attention and concerns about emergency response capabilities. Cadena, who arrived seeking asylum from Venezuela in 2023 and was arrested at a scheduled check-in appointment in December, was eventually released with ankle monitoring as her deportation case continues.","incidentType":"Family Separation, Minor/Family, Detained, Detention Conditions, Protest / Intervention, Litigation, Court/USCIS/Immigration Office","country":"Ecuador","createdAt":"2026-03-22T16:53:32.614Z"},{"id":2050,"url":"https://www.themarshallproject.org/2026/01/26/ice-minneapolis-shooting-alex-pretti","altSources":"[\"https://www.npr.org/2026/01/25/nx-s1-5687875/minneapolis-shooting-minnesota-ice-alex-pretti-dhs-investigation\",\"https://www.fox9.com/news/ice-minnesota-federal-judge-lifts-order-bca-lawsuit-over-evidence-preservation\",\"https://www.fox9.com/news/alex-pretti-shooting-scene-evidence-preservation-argued-court-jan-26-2026\",\"https://www.fox9.com/news/alex-pretti-shooting-minnesota-bca-says-fbi-has-denied-them-access-evidence-case\",\"https://www.fox9.com/news/alex-pretti-shooting-minnesota-bca-working-fbi-feb-7\",\"https://fox9.com/video/fmc-9vnej5t0clszzcb2\",\"https://www.cbsnews.com/video/federal-accounts-of-alex-pretti-shooting-clash-with-evidence-minnesota-officials/\",\"http://mprnews.org/story/2026/01/25/alex-pretti-shooting-judge-grants-restraining-order-on-altering-evidence\",\"https://www.propublica.org/article/alex-pretti-shooting-cbp-agents-identified-jesus-ochoa-raymundo-gutierrez\",\"https://keyt.com/news/national-world/cnn-national/2026/01/29/how-two-federal-agents-escalated-an-encounter-with-alex-pretti-into-a-deadly-shooting/\",\"https://calmatters.org/investigation/2026/03/agents-of-chaos-border-patrol/\",\"https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yvw89p3p1o\",\"https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/53972-what-americans-think-about-immigration-enforcement-and-the-death-of-alex-pretti\",\"https://www.instagram.com/p/DVzThamkoO5/?igsh=NjZiM2M3MzIxNA%3D%3D\",\"https://www.jackhopkinsnow.com/p/was-alex-pretti-flagged-how-one-encounter\",\"https://quokk.au/post/626287\",\"https://abc6onyourside.com/news/nation-world/encrypted-chats-show-agitators-were-at-minnesota-scene-before-alex-pretti-was-shot-report-donald-trump-jd-vance-minneapolis\"]","date":"1/28/2026","location":"Minneapolis, MN","latitude":44.9772995,"longitude":-93.2654692,"headline":"Border Patrol agents fatally shoot U.S. citizen Alex Pretti in Minneapolis","summary":"Border Patrol agents Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez fatally shot 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and intensive care nurse, on January 24, 2026, in Minneapolis.

She discovered she was pregnant while in custody and has experienced heavy bleeding and cramps but has not seen a doctor outside of one emergency room visit. She is awaiting deportation to Honduras and has been separated from her two young children, one of whom is still breastfeeding. More than a dozen women have reported suffering medical neglect and mistreatment while pregnant in U.S. immigration custody, including being shackled, placed in solitary confinement, and denied prenatal care, according to a letter sent to ICE and Senate committees by a coalition of advocacy groups. Specific cases described include a woman who miscarried while shackled and another denied prenatal vitamins and placed in solitary confinement. The advocacy groups, including the ACLU and National Immigration Project, are urging ICE to release all pregnant detainees. Iris Dayana Monterroso-Lemus, a 38-year-old undocumented immigrant, was detained by ICE in mid-March after missing a court hearing and transferred to Richwood Correctional Center in Louisiana in early April while pregnant. Despite repeated requests for medical attention and an ultrasound, she received inadequate prenatal care and was given only blood pressure and urine monitoring. On April 29, she was hospitalized at a labor and delivery hospital where she experienced intrauterine fetal death and underwent spontaneous vaginal delivery while under constant guard. She was subsequently deported to Guatemala. An ACLU letter documents systematic medical neglect and abuse of pregnant women held in ICE detention facilities, including cases of miscarriages while shackled, denial of prenatal care, and inadequate nutrition. The letter details accounts of multiple pregnant women detained at Basile facility in Louisiana who experienced severe complications, including one woman who miscarried while shackled and was deported despite ongoing medical issues, and another detained for over 20 weeks during a high-risk pregnancy who developed eclampsia after release. A migrant woman detained by ICE after crossing the Rio Grande had her C-section scar and umbilical hernia rip open one week into her detention. Despite reporting the injury, she was denied surgery for four months and given only pain management medication. She was separated from her 15-year-old son under the zero-tolerance policy. Only after obtaining legal representation did she receive surgery and eventually bond to be released.","incidentType":"Detained, Deported, Detention Conditions, Family Separation, Minor/Family, Vehicle/Traffic Stop","country":"Honduras","createdAt":"2026-03-29T15:46:01.792Z"},{"id":2063,"url":"https://coloradosun.com/2026/01/23/ace-of-spades-card-ice-detentions/","altSources":"[\"https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/ace-of-spades-cards-ice-colorado-b2908789.html\",\"https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/ice-ace-spades-death-cards-colorado-immigration-nonprofit/?intcid=CNR-01-0623\",\"https://www.aol.com/news/advocacy-group-claims-ace-spades-182248434.html\"]","date":"1/23/2026","location":"Eagle County, CO","latitude":39.6161124,"longitude":-106.7172844,"headline":"Racist ace of spades cards found in vehicles after ICE arrests","summary":"ICE agents conducted traffic stops in Eagle County, Colorado on Wednesday, detaining nine people.

Federal agents stopped Noemi Chavez; her husband, Jaime Ramirez; their 8-year-old daughter, Dasha Ramirez; and their 3-year-old son and took them away in a white van during a family outing Sunday at the park. Witnesses saw Dasha Ramirez crying and clutching a doll during the arrests. The incident was caught on video and shared widely on social media. Chavez told the Tribune the family made the outing because Dasha “really wanted to visit Millennium Park.” Dasha and her little brother were playing in the water at the Crown Fountain when federal agents approached their parents, according to the Tribune. Albany Park resident Lauren Rappold said she saw the photos and videos of the family being detained and recognized them immediately. Her son attends Grover Cleveland Elementary School and is in the same third-grade class as Dasha. Rappold shared the information in a Cleveland Elementary moms group and spoke with a neighbor who had been able to get in contact with Chavez via WhatsApp. The neighbor, who asked not to be identified, told Rappold that Chavez and her two children had been taken to O’Hare’s immigration customs enforcement area at Terminal 5. Chavez told the Tribune that federal officers declined to show her a warrant during the arrest. Border Protection did not respond to a request for comment. Rappold brought a bag with fresh clothes, diapers and medicine to O’Hare on Monday morning. Chavez confirmed she got the bag over WhatsApp and said she was told she will be kept at O’Hare until there are enough people to fill a plane to send to a detention center in Texas, Rappold said. ✍️ Full story by @Writtenbymollyd in our link in bio.📸 Provided","incidentType":"Detained, Minor/family, Student, Minor/Family, Disappearance/Detention, Family Separation, Public Space/Street","country":"Guatemala","createdAt":"2026-03-06T14:57:52.046Z"},{"id":3387,"url":"https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/local/idaho-familys-immigration-raid-testimony-draws-national-attention/277-0c7159de-99ff-4ab1-b740-43da9c39706d","altSources":null,"date":"10/2025","location":"Wilder, ID","latitude":43.6765486,"longitude":-116.9118157,"headline":"Idaho family's immigration raid testimony draws national attention","summary":"A federal immigration raid at La Catedral horse race track in Wilder, Idaho in October 2025 is drawing national attention after Anabel Romero, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, testified before the U.S. Senate about the operation.
