Yep, Elián González was first taken to a hospital and treated, then placed in custody of a family member who lived in the US, pending final decisions.

None of that would have been concerning for treatment of Liam Conejo Ramos.

Two more kids from Liam’s elementary school were taken into custody with their mother:

Kuhlman (the principal) said the children’s mother called the school early Thursday to tell them she’d been detained and asked school leaders to bring the kids to her at the Whipple Federal Building near Fort Snelling because there were no family members in Minnesota to care for them.

“We had to deliver them to a detention center,” Kuhlman said.

“The kids were with us. They were safe. They feel comfortable with us because we’re caring adults. But to ask educators to deliver them is horrible, you know?” he added. “I will always abide by a parent’s wishes. And she wanted to be reunited with the boys. She wanted to go together. But great goodness (for ICE) to put us in a position like that. I don’t have words.”

He said the boys cried when he told them what was happening and were frightened and asked to hold a school nurse’s hand when they walked into the Whipple Building.

What does Elian have to do with this situation? He was sent home to be raised by his father. And by his own admission as an adult, that was the right call. Elian is quite the big deal in Cuba, a trained engineer and elected official. If he stayed here, he’d probably be working as a janitor and on Trump’s deportation list.

Elian Gonzalez also wasn't placed in a detention center. He was almost immediately reunited with his father - who he was being kept apart from by distant relatives he didn't even know.

The migrant detention centers (which I think probably deserves its own thread?) have no accountability. Does anyone know how many more children are being held? These centers are primarily run by for profit firms (they are being paid to hold people in detention!). Migrants are people. To treat them with no dignity and subhuman conditions is deplorable. Why are we allowing mass number of people to be traumatized??

The GOP is only pro life for the unborn. Once born the GOP doesn't give a flying flip about their lives.

He’s not the first, but with some strategy, he can be the last.

I get all the people wondering why “no one cares” about the other kids. We absolutely do. But if people understand just how many children were suffering, it would be overwhelming. When people are overwhelmed, they shut down and do nothing.

People understand how to get angry over one adorable little kid who did nothing wrong and who went from healthy to extremely ill after only a few days in ICE custody.

We need to keep the pressure up so ICE decides they never want to have another “Liam situation” ever again.

I work with undocumented people and I can guarantee you they are not receiving “free daycare” or “insurance”.

He will not. People will blame his parents for putting him in this situation, but the inhumanity is all ICE.

They are pro fetus. Once you are born you are own your own.

And to the extent he was “held” in any form, it is standard issue for an international custody dispute. Which again, is not happening with Liam. His parents are both here.

He should be at home with his mother. I don’t care what you think about how the family reacted when they saw ICE. Keep the dad in detention-find but this child should be at home, attending school with is friends. The family has not done anything illegal. They are not the “worst of the worst” Miller claims he’s rounding up. He just wants to get rid of anyone who isn’t white.

And keep everyone who looks like him— Gollum from Lord of the Rings?
