Greg Casar: Trump 'Is Holding A 5-Year-Old In A Prison' As Child Liam Conejo Ramos Detained By ICE

Published | Video Starts at 00:57

I'm proud to represent the ground we stand on in San Antonio as long as they'll let me. Today we say with one voice, free Leah Brahmos. Free Leah Ramos. Donald Trump ran for the presidency saying he was going to go after, quote, the worst of the worst. Today he is holding a five year old in a prison. Last year, they arrested 3,800 miners. You've seen the picture. A small child, Spiderman backpack, scared and alone, used as bait by federal agents. (00:57–01:04)
