ACTION 2:

Federal Judge Fred Biery on Saturday ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father from ICE detention, condemning their removal from their suburban Minneapolis neighborhood as unconstitutional.  In his opinion, the judge condemned “the perfidious lust for unbridled power” and “the imposition of cruelty.”

Write to thank Judge Biery.  Adapt this sample text:

Dear Judge Biery,

  Thank you for your ruling ending the cruel and illegal detention of Liam Ramos and his father.

Sincerely,

<your name and zip code>

Judge Fred Biery
