The recent incident in Minneapolis highlights the consequences of illegal immigration and the failures of past open-border policies. On January 20, ICE agents targeted Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, an illegal alien from Ecuador released into the U.S. under the Biden administration, for a standard enforcement action.When agents approached, Conejo Arias fled on foot, abandoning his 5-year-old son, Liam, in the process. ICE officers immediately prioritized the child's safety by staying with him until his father was apprehended, following established protocols to protect minors during such operations.This isn't about targeting children—it's about enforcing the law and holding accountable those who break it, even if it means parents make reckless choices. Programs like the CBP Home app offer humane alternatives, including financial incentives for voluntary departure, ensuring families can stay together while respecting America's sovereignty.
