Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos is just 5 years old and currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were detained by ICE in Minnesota and, the very next day, they were moved to a detention center in Texas. For over 24 hours, Liam’s mother had no idea where her son and husband were—she only learned of their whereabouts when the father was finally able to call from Texas. This sudden separation has left their family heartbroken and desperate to bring them back home. Liam’s mother and siblings miss him terribly and are deeply concerned for his safety and wellbeing. It’s unimaginable for a child so young to be in a place like this, far from the comfort and care of his family.

The family is doing everything they can to reunite with Liam and his dad, but the legal process is complicated and expensive. The funds raised will go directly toward attorney fees for a habeas corpus bond request, which is the next step needed to help bring them home. Every dollar will make a difference in giving Liam the chance to return to his family, where he belongs, and to ensure his safety during this difficult time.

We are reaching out to our community for help. No child should have to go through this, and your support can make all the difference. Please consider helping us bring Liam and his dad back home to their loving family. Your kindness and generosity will mean the world to them.
