White House condemns media for omitting the full context of Minneapolis incident
Vice President J.D. Vance clapped back at a reporter who accused Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of arresting an illegal alien’s five-year-old in Minnesota.
The child, Liam Conejo Ramos, entered a federal immigration enforcement vehicle after agents detained his illegal alien father in their driveway on Thursday. Vance stated during a speech in Minneapolis that the boy’s father ran off without his son as agents approached to arrest him, which prompted agents to make sure the boy remained safe.
“I actually saw this terrible story while I was coming to Minneapolis,” Vance said. “We just left Toledo, Ohio, this morning for an economic messaging event and I see this story. And I’m a father of a five-year-old actually, a five-year-old little boy, and I think to myself, ‘oh my god, this is terrible.’ How did we arrest a five-year-old? Well, I do a little bit more follow-up research and what I find is that the five-year-old was not arrested, that his dad was an illegal alien and then when they went to arrest his illegal alien father, the father ran.
