US federal agents detain 5-year-old boy; school official says child was used as “bait”

Archan Kundu

Federal agents detained a 5-year-old boy and his father in a Minnesota suburb after the child returned home from preschool.

School officials say officers took the boy from a running car and instructed him to knock on the door to check if others were inside, calling the tactic disturbing.

The family arrived in the U.S. in 2024 and has an active asylum case with no deportation order. The Department said ICE arrested the child’s father, an Ecuadorian national in the U.S. illegally.
