明尼苏达州哥伦比亚高地，1月22日（路透社） – 校方和一名家庭律师表示，美国移民官员拘留了至少4名儿童，其中包括一名5岁男童。此前副总统JD·万斯对该5岁男童被拘留的情况作出了官方表述，而该家庭及其律师对此提出了质疑。
哥伦比亚高地公立学区总监泽娜·斯滕维克在新闻发布会上称，截至本周，武装蒙面的美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）人员已逮捕了4名学生，其中除5岁男童利亚姆·科内霍·拉莫斯（Liam Conejo Ramos）外，还包括两名17岁青少年和一名10岁儿童。
“ICE特工在我们社区游荡，在学校附近盘旋，跟踪校车，多次进入我们的停车场并带走孩子，”斯滕维克说。
“这种密集的移民执法行动给我们的社区带来创伤，对孩子们造成了巨大影响。”
此次拘留行动是美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普移民政策收紧的一部分。据报道，特朗普政府已向明尼阿波利斯地区部署了约3000名联邦执法人员。自1月7日一名移民官员开枪打死美国公民、37岁的母亲雷妮·古德（Renee Good）后，当地居民一直处于紧张状态。

全副武装的联邦特工
联邦执法人员称追捕的是“危险罪犯和非法移民”，而对其强硬手段感到不安的抗议者则组织了自身巡逻队，通过吹哨警告民众ICE突袭行动，同时表达对特朗普政策升级的不满。
国土安全部表示，利亚姆的父亲阿德里安·亚历山大·科内霍·阿里亚斯（Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias）在美国境内属非法居留，但未提供细节。

1月20日（路透社/雷切尔·詹姆斯）——一名目击者称，图中男孩为5岁的利亚姆·科内霍·拉莫斯。据学校官员称，他于周二从幼儿园返家后，被身着制服的特工从车道上带走父亲，随后母亲被要求留在屋内。至少两名目击者表示，警方曾试图以男孩为诱饵诱捕其母亲。
万斯在新闻发布会上称：“移民官员追捕逃跑的父亲，别无选择只能带走被遗弃的男孩。他们难道应该让一个5岁孩子冻死街头吗？难道不应该逮捕非法移民吗？”
然而，学校官员、家庭成年人及邻居均表示愿意临时照看男孩，但被ICE官员拒绝。哥伦比亚高地学校董事会主席玛丽·格兰伦德（Mary Granlund）称，学校有权在父母缺位时代管儿童，且男孩母亲当时就在屋内，其丈夫要求她不要外出以免被拘留。
当被问及男孩是否被用作诱饵时，格兰伦德回答：“是的。”
“我们社区和学校的安全感被彻底摧毁，孩子们本应在课堂与同学相伴，而现在却要经历这样的恐惧。”
目击者、市议员雷切尔·詹姆斯描述男孩被塞进黑色SUV后座带走时的状态：“我无法想象利亚姆当时的想法，但他脸上的表情告诉我一切。他没有哭泣，却显得极度恐惧。”
家庭律师否认非法居留指控
男孩父亲的代理律师马克·普罗科施（Marc Prokosch）否认利亚姆父亲非法居留，称明尼苏达州记录显示该家庭无犯罪历史，目前正在等待移民法庭的听证会。
斯滕维克补充：“我们社区的儿童安全和信任基础已被严重破坏。这些孩子本应在学校学习，而不是在冰天雪地里被执法人员带走。”

ICE detains four Minnesota children including five-year-old, school officials say

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, Minnesota, Jan 22 (Reuters) – U.S. immigration officials have detained at least four children, including a five-year-old, from the Minneapolis suburb of Columbia Heights, according to school officials and a lawyer for the family, who challenged the government narrative of the five-year-old’s detention put forward by Vice President JD Vance.
The Ecuadorean boy and his father – both in the country legally as asylum applicants – were whisked off to a family detention facility in Dilley, Texas, said Marc Prokosch, an attorney representing the family who is attempting to gain their release.

Zena Stenvik, superintendent of the Columbia Heights Public School District, told a press conference that armed and masked ICE officers had apprehended four students as of this week, listing two 17-year-olds and a 10-year-old in addition to the five-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos.
“ICE agents have been roaming our neighborhoods, circling our schools, following our buses, coming into our parking lots multiple times and taking our kids,” Stenvik said.
“The onslaught of ice activity in our community is inducing trauma and is taking a toll on our children.”
The detentions form part of U.S. President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown, which has deployed about 3,000 federal law enforcement officers to the Minneapolis area, where people have been on edge since an immigration officer shot and killed Renee Good, 37, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, on January 7.
Heavily armed federal officers have pursued suspects they say are dangerous criminals and immigration violators, while protesters unnerved by the show of force have responded with their own observer patrols, blowing whistles to warn people of ICE raids while voicing displeasure with Trump’s escalation.
The Department of Homeland Security said Liam’s father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, was in the country illegally but did not provide details.

Liam, wearing a blue hat and a Spider-Man backpack, watched as masked agents took his father from the driveway of their home after the two returned from preschool on Tuesday, according to witnesses. Officers then attempted to use the boy as bait to lure his mother out of the house, at least two witnesses said.
Vance told a press conference on Thursday that immigration officers were pursuing Liam’s father, who ran away, leaving officers no choice but to take the abandoned boy.
“What are they supposed to do? Are they supposed to let a five-year-old child freeze to death? Are they not supposed to arrest an illegal alien?,
” Vance told a press conference during a visit to Minneapolis to show support for ICE.
However, school officials, an adult from the family home and neighbors all offered to take the boy, only to be denied by ICE officials, according to witnesses including Mary Granlund, the chair of the Columbia Heights school board. Granlund said school officials are authorized to take custody of a child in the absence of a parent.
The boy’s mother was inside the home, but her husband instructed her to remain inside, most likely to avoid detention herself, Granlund told reporters. When asked if the boy was being used as bait, Granlund said, “Correct.”
“The sense of safety in our community and around our schools is shaken and our hearts are shattered, and honestly, at the end of the day, children should be in school with their classmates,” Granlund said.
The officers put the child in the back seat of a black SUV and sped away, said Rachel James, a Columbia Heights city council member who also witnessed the events.
“I can’t imagine what was going through Liam’s mind, but I can tell you what I saw on his face. He was frozen and paralyzed,” James told Reuters on Thursday. “He was not crying, but he looked so scared.”
Prokosch denied that Liam’s father was in the U.S. illegally and said Minnesota records did not show any criminal history for the family. They were awaiting a hearing before an immigration judge, he said.
