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.

I am in contact with Liam’s mother, Erica Ramos, through her legal counsel. She asked me to create this fundraiser on her behalf, as this is an extremely difficult time for her and she is not very familiar with technology. She is incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support and kindness the community has shown.

Erica has been in contact with her son and her husband, who have stated they are “fine,” but we all understand that the reality of the situation is far from that. They were kidnapped and transported across the country without the ability to contact their family or an attorney.

We are doing everything possible to help bring them home as quickly as we can. I will continue to share updates as they become available. To ensure transparency and direct access to the funds, I am adding Erica as a beneficiary and assisting her with linking her bank account so the donations are transferred directly to her.

Estoy en contacto con la madre de Liam, Erica Ramos, a través de su asesor legal. Ella me pidió que creara esta recaudación de fondos en su nombre, ya que este es un momento extremadamente difícil para ella y no está muy familiarizada con la tecnología. Está profundamente agradecida por todo el apoyo y la solidaridad que la comunidad le ha brindado durante este tiempo tan complicado.

Erica ha estado en contacto con su hijo y con su esposo, quienes han manifestado que están “bien”; sin embargo, todos entendemos que la realidad de la situación es muy distinta. Fueron llevados a través del país sin la posibilidad de comunicarse con su familia ni con un abogado.

Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para ayudarlos a regresar a casa lo más pronto posible. Compartiré más actualizaciones conforme estén disponibles. Para garantizar la transparencia y que los fondos lleguen directamente a ella, estoy agregando a Erica como beneficiaria y ayudándola a vincular su cuenta bancaria para que las donaciones se transfieran directamente.
