The treatment of Liam, who was pictured wearing a blue winter hat and Spider-Man backpack while in the custody of immigration agents, drew widespread condemnation and calls for their release.

The judge’s decision to order their release reflects a recognition of the need to prioritize the well-being and rights of vulnerable individuals caught up in the immigration system.
