The five-year-old boy arrested and deported by ICE along with his father to Minneapolis will be released.
After the arrest—videos of which went viral, sparking controversy over the heavy-handedness of U.S. federal agency agents—the child and his father were taken to a migrant shelter in Texas. Now, a federal judge has ordered their release.
The little boy had been stopped by ICE at the nursery school exit. The boy—wearing a blue hat with bunny ears and a Spider-Man backpack—was captured in a frightened photo next to the officers. It was a snapshot that moved America and beyond.
In recent days, a delegation of Democrats visited the little boy, describing him as "sad" and hopeful of seeing his mother again.
The news of the release comes as protests continue in several American cities against ICE and its methods, which are deemed brutal and anti-democratic.
