TLDRFive-year-old Liam Ramos and his father were released from a Texas immigration detention center after being held for more than a week, according to US House representative Joaquin Castro. The boy and his father returned to Minneapolis, where they were picked up by Castro and brought back early Sunday. The detention sparked outrage after a viral photo of the child wearing a bunny hat and a plaid coat led to claims that he was used as bait to arrest his mother.
