Family First: Release Liam Ramos and His Father

I am writing to you as your constituent to respectfully urge your intervention in a matter that strikes at the heart of American values: the detention of Liam Ramos and his father in ICE custody. As a nation built on the rule of law, we must ensure that our immigration enforcement system upholds the principles of justice and human dignity that define us. The indefinite detention of families, particularly when children are involved, raises serious concerns about due process and the proportionality of our enforcement actions. I ask you to consider this case through the lens of our shared commitment to family unity—a cornerstone of conservative values and American society. Whatever the circumstances that brought this family into ICE custody, prolonged detention of a father and son serves neither public safety nor justice. These individuals deserve a timely resolution to their case, whether through proper legal proceedings, bond hearings, or other lawful remedies. Faith communities across our nation, including many evangelical and Catholic leaders, have consistently called for immigration policies that balance enforcement with compassion. The current situation facing the Ramos family demands we ask ourselves: Is this detention serving justice, or has it become punitive beyond what our laws and values require? I respectfully request that you: 1 Inquire into the specific circumstances of Liam Ramos and his father's detention 2 Advocate for their right to a timely bond hearing and due process 3 Support their release from detention while their case proceeds through proper legal channels 4 Ensure they have access to adequate legal representation Our immigration system must be both orderly and humane. I believe you share my conviction that we can enforce our laws while treating all individuals—especially children—with the dignity that reflects our nation's character. I would appreciate your office's attention to this urgent matter and would welcome the opportunity to discuss it further. Thank you for your service to our country, our state, and for considering this request.
