No that kid didn't get a happy ending with a Super Bowl appearance. He's living a tortured life no kid should because, racism, that's why.
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

ICE is bad socially and economically. Period.
Immigrants are good and what we should take from all of this isn't how do we capture and deport them humanely, but instead, how do we make them citizens as fast as possible. This is the commonsense you're looking for.

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

US trade deficit widens by the most in nearly 34 years in November
The U.S. trade deficit widened by the most in nearly 34 years in November amid a surge in capital goods imports, likely driven by an artificial intelligence investment boom, which could prompt economists to trim their economic growth estimates for the fourth quarter.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Reminder, there is no Presidential Pardon for state crimes. Walz needs to send in the National Guard and the state police need to start making arrests.
they've been given verbal immunity from the Vice President and practical immunity from the FBI
