I dont think ICE is going after the kid, The father probably left his kid behind when ICE was trying to detain him, and now we got this headline.

TFA says that ice approaches the kid and made him knock on his own door for them, so no, this doesn’t comport with the reporting here at all.
They took the kid, that already is horrible. This shouldn't have happened.
If only there was some kind of way we could find out what happened. Maybe like, reading articles before participating in Nazi apologetics?

> Liam Ramos, a preschooler, and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway... Liam and his father had just arrived home when they were detained... the father’s car was still running...

> An agent had taken Liam out of the car, led the boy to his front door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in, “in order to see if anyone else was home – essentially using a five-year-old as bait”

> Stenvik said another adult living in the home was outside during the encounter and had pleaded to take care of Liam so the boy could avoid detention, but was denied...

> Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family, said the family had an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived to the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point.

> “The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out,” he said. “They did not come here illegally. They are not criminals.” He said there was no order of deportation against them.
