Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."
Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Americans Love Their Neighbors
Statistics say this is a time of disconnection. Minnesota’s response to ICE shows otherwise.
