A five-year-old boy arriving home from pre-school in Minnesota has been taken by US agents along with his father to a detention facility in Texas, school officials and the family’s lawyer said.

Federal agents took Liam Conejo Ramos from a running car while it was in the family’s driveway on Tuesday afternoon, Columbia Heights Public Schools superintendent Zena Stenvik said.
