明尼阿波利斯讯——五岁的利亚姆·科内霍·拉莫斯今年早些时候因被美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）拘留引发全球公愤，他的父母在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的独家专访时表示，利亚姆一直担心自己会再次被拘留。
距离利亚姆和父亲在明尼苏达州被移民海关执法局带走已经两个多月了，当时他戴着蓝色兔子帽、背着书包——这一场景被照片和视频记录下来，重新点燃了美国关于移民执法的激烈分歧辩论。而这是他们首次进行线下采访，父母表示，儿子在移民海关执法局拘留期间的经历给他留下了深深的心理创伤。

利亚姆的父亲阿德里安·科内霍·阿里亚斯表示，儿子现在定期去看心理医生。
“作为父母，我们非常担心他不再是从前的样子，我们担心这种情况会持续很久，”科内霍·阿里亚斯周日在明尼阿波利斯用西班牙语接受采访时说道，“我们很担心这种创伤不会很快痊愈。”
利亚姆的母亲埃丽卡·拉莫斯说，他出现了心理创伤的迹象，包括过度警觉和孤僻。
“我的孩子完全变了，”她补充道。
他更爱发脾气、行为也更乖张，她说。拉莫斯补充道，曾经活泼开朗的利亚姆在学校里不再愿意去某些课堂，也不愿和其他孩子一起玩耍。
“他看到警察就会说，‘妈妈，那是移民海关执法局的人’，”埃丽卡·拉莫斯说道。

今年早些时候，利亚姆和父亲在德克萨斯州的移民海关执法局拘留设施中被关押了两周，之后一名联邦法官作出严厉裁决，两人得以获释。该法官称，他们的拘留“源于政府为追求每日驱逐配额而制定的考虑不周、执行拙劣的政策，即便这会给儿童造成心理创伤也在所不惜”。
但这一家人仍面临法律风险，有可能再次被拘留并最终被驱逐出境。
联邦政府仍在推进对这家人的驱逐程序，最近终止了他们的庇护案，并就允许利亚姆和父亲从移民海关执法局拘留中获释的联邦法院命令提起上诉。
美国国土安全部在一份声明中表示，移民法官在给予“完整的正当法律程序”后，已下令将利亚姆一家驱逐出境。该部门敦促像利亚姆父母这样的人带着子女自行离境。
当被问及最害怕什么时，利亚姆说：“la inmigración”——西班牙语使用者用来指代联邦移民执法人员的术语。
“一场不公”
1月20日的移民海关执法局行动导致利亚姆和父亲被拘留，相关照片登上了国际新闻头条。当时，特朗普政府因在明尼阿波利斯地区大规模部署联邦移民执法人员而面临越来越多的审查。
在美国公民、明尼阿波利斯居民蕾妮·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂被移民海关执法局和边境巡逻人员杀害后，两党对此发出强烈反对，政府随后缩减了这项名为“地铁激增行动”的行动规模。
当时，移民海关执法局表示，此次行动的目标是利亚姆的父亲，该局指控他非法留在美国。这家人称，他们是2023年根据拜登政府为寻求庇护者设立的CBP One项目获得许可后进入美国的，而特朗普政府重返白宫后立即关停了该项目。
移民海关执法局还称，科内霍·阿里亚斯试图逃避逮捕，并在过程中遗弃了利亚姆。在周日的采访中，科内霍·阿里亚斯断然否认了这一指控。
“外界的说法都不是真的，”他说。当被直接问及是否会遗弃利亚姆时，科内霍·阿里亚斯说道：“我从来没有，也绝不会这么做。”

移民海关执法局还称，他们曾试图联系利亚姆的母亲让她带走孩子，但遭到了她的拒绝。
拉莫斯表示，她当时没有开门是因为担心自己也会被拘留。她说，她当时想到了要照顾自己另一个13岁的儿子塔德奥，对方当时还在上学。拉莫斯补充道，她认为移民海关执法局是在利用利亚姆作为“诱饵”来逮捕她。
利亚姆和父亲最终被转移到德克萨斯州的迪利家庭拘留中心，与其他有子女的家庭一同被关押。科内霍·阿里亚斯称在那里的时光“糟透了”，他说医疗服务不足，食物还让利亚姆和其他被拘留者生病了。
“最艰难的是我什么都做不了，”拉莫斯在谈及丈夫和儿子被移民海关执法局拘留的那段时光时说道。
“我当时满心绝望，只想把他们救出来，因为我真的不明白为什么会这样，”她哭着说道。
虽然她很高兴一家人能在明尼阿波利斯重聚，拉莫斯——此时正怀着另一个男孩——表示，自丈夫和儿子被拘留以来，他们的生活再也回不到从前了。她说她渴望获得一些“平静”，渴望一家人能在美国生活和工作，不必再笼罩在被驱逐的阴影之下。
但这家人的律师丹妮尔·莫里弗表示，如果对庇护案终止决定的上诉失败，他们很可能会被驱逐出境。而如果司法部成功暂停导致利亚姆获释的下级法院命令，这家人可能会再次被移民海关执法局拘留。
这是科内霍·阿里亚斯最担心的问题，其次是儿子的心理健康。他说，他仍在试图弄清楚为什么自己的家人会成为被驱逐的目标。
“我认为他们对我们所做的一切都是不公，而实际上我们一直都在按规矩行事，”他说。
Liam Conejo Ramos constantly worries about being detained by ICE again, his parents say: “My boy is very different”

Minneapolis— Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, whose detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement sparked global outrage earlier this year, constantly worries about being detained once again, his parents told CBS News in an exclusive interview.
It’s been over two months since Liam was taken into ICE custody in Minnesota, alongside his father, while wearing a blue bunny hat and his school backpack — a moment captured by photos and videos that reignited America’s polarizing debate over immigration enforcement. But his parents, in their first in-person interview, said their son remains deeply scarred by his experiences in ICE detention.

Adrián Conejo Arias, Liam’s father, said his son now regularly sees a psychologist.
“As parents, it worries us a lot that he’s no longer as he was before and we’re worried this could last a long time,” Conejo Arias said during an interview in Spanish on Sunday in Minneapolis. “It does worry us that this will not heal quickly.”
Liam’s mother, Erika Ramos, said he’s been exhibiting signs of psychological trauma, including hypervigilance and isolation.
“My boy is very different,” she added.
He’s more prone to acting up and behaving badly, she said. In school, Ramos added, Liam, once a playful and happy kid, no longer wants to go to certain classes or play with other children.
“He sees police officers, and he says, ‘It’s ICE, Mommy,’” Erika Ramos said.

After spending two weeks at an ICE holding facility in Texas earlier this year, Liam and his father were released after a scathing ruling from a federal judge who said their detention had its “genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children.”
But the family remains in legal peril, and is at risk of potentially being detained a second time and ultimately deported.
The federal government has continued to pursue the family’s deportation, recently terminating their asylum case and appealing the federal court order that allowed Liam and his father to be released from ICE custody.
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said Liam’s family was ordered deported by an immigration judge after receiving “full due process.” The department urged parents like Liam’s to self-deport alongside their children.
Asked what scares him the most, Liam said, “la inmigración,” a term used by Spanish speakers to describe federal immigration agents.
“An injustice”
Images of the Jan. 20 ICE operation that led to Liam and his father being taken into custody made international headlines at a time when the Trump administration was facing intensifying scrutiny over a massive deployment of federal immigration agents in the Minneapolis area.
The administration later scaled back that campaign, called Operation Metro Surge, after the killings of U.S. citizens and Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti, at the hands of ICE and Border Patrol agents, triggered bipartisan backlash.
At the time, ICE said the intended target of the operation that led to Liam’s detention was his father, who the agency accused of being in the U.S. illegally. The family said they entered the U.S. in 2023, with the government’s permission, under a Biden administration program for asylum-seekers, known as CBP One, that President Trump’s administration shut down immediately after he returned to the White House.
ICE also said Conejo Arias tried to evade arrest and abandoned Liam in the process. During Sunday’s interview, Conejo Arias categorically rejected the accusation.
“It’s not true what people are saying,” he said. Asked directly if he would abandon Liam, Conejo Arias said, “I never did and never would.”

ICE also said it tried to get Liam’s mother to take him, and that she refused.
Ramos said she did not open the door out of concerns she too would be detained. She said she thought about who would care for her other son, 13-year-old Tadeo, who was still in school at the time. Ramos added she believed ICE was using Liam as “bait” to arrest her.
Liam and his father were ultimately transferred to the Dilley family detention center in Texas, where they were held alongside other families with children. Conejo Arias called the time there “horrible,” saying the medical care was inadequate and that the food made Liam and other detainees sick.
“The most difficult thing was I couldn’t do anything,” Ramos said of the time her husband and son were in ICE custody.
“My desperation was to go and get them out, because I really did not understand why,” she said, crying.
While she’s happy her family is back together again in Minnesota, Ramos, who is pregnant with another boy, said their lives have not been the same since her husband and son’s detention. She said she longs for some “peace” and the chance for the family to live and work in the U.S., without the specter of deportation.
But Danielle Molliver, the family’s lawyer, said they could very well face deportation if the appeal of the asylum case’s termination fails. And if the Justice Department’s move to suspend the lower court order that led to Liam’s release succeeds, the family could be detained by ICE again.
That is Conejo Arias’ biggest concern, alongside his son’s mental health. He said he’s still trying to understand why his family was targeted for deportation.
“I think it was an injustice that they did that to us, when in reality we were doing everything right,” he said.
