A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order that blocks the Trump administration from removing a 5-year-old boy who was detained by immigration authorities in Minnesota last week.

Liam Conejo Ramos was taken with his father after the pair returned home Jan. 20 from Liam's preschool, according to the superintendent of Columbia Heights Public Schools.

The case has drawn scrutiny from critics who have accused Immigration and Customs Enforcement of using children as "bait." Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin has defended the agency's actions.
