ICE officers protected a single young child after the illegal-migrant
father was arrested but establishment media outlets are claiming the
sheltered child was rCLdetained.rCY

rCLICE detains 5-year-old Minnesota boy; school leader says agents used
him as rCybait,'rCY said the NPR headline.

rCLPreschooler and three other students detained by ICE, school district leader says,rCY claimed the Star Tribune newspaper in Minnesota.

The rCLdetainedrCY term suggests to readers that the child was arrested, partly because the two terms are often used interchangeably by media
outlets.

The media blowup comes as ICE officials are enforcing the nationrCOs
migraiton laws by arresting many illegal migrants, including many who
have been ordered home by a federal judge. Some of the migrants have
kids rCo partly because President Joe BidenrCOs deputies minimized arrests rCo ensuring that ICE officers must guard the children until they can be
handed over to the other parent or a relative.

The Department of Homeland Security responded via X.com:

On January 20, ICE conducted a targeted operation to arrest Adrian
Alexander Conejo Arias an illegal alien from Ecuador who was RELEASED
into the U.S. by the Biden administration.

As agents approached the driver Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, fled on footrCoabandoning his child. For the childrCOs safety, one of our ICE
officers remained with the child while the other officers apprehended
Conejo Arias.

Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children, or ICE
will place the children with a safe person the parent designates. This
is consistent with past administrationrCOs immigration enforcement.
Parents can take control of their departure and receive a free flight
and $2,600 with the CBP Home app. By using the CBP Home app illegal
aliens reserve the chance to come back the right legal way.

The DHS post was a response to a rCLdetainedrCY claim by Somalia-born Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN):

The Washington Post fronted the claims by pro-migrant school officials
in its report of the episode:

rCLWhy detain a 5-year-old?rCY Zena Stenvik, the superintendent of the Columbia Heights Public Schools district, located just north of
Minneapolis, said at a news conference. rCLYou cannot tell me that this
child is going to be classified as a violent criminal.rCY

After detaining the father, ICE officers then asked Liam to knock on the
door to see if any other people were inside the home, rCLusing a
5-year-old as bait,rCY according to the school district.

Another adult living in the home who was outside at the time, rCLbegged
the agentsrCY to leave the child with them, the school district said. ICE agents refused. LiamrCOs middle-school-aged brother returned home 20
minutes later to find that his younger brother and father had been taken
away.

The focus on the child echoes the mediarCOs 2019 deceptive claim that TrumprCOs border deputies were keeping rCLkids in cages.rCY
