A fundraiser for the family of a five-year-old Minneapolis boy seized by immigration officers and transported with his father to a detention center in Texas had raised more than $110,000 on Thursday.

The appeal, Help Bring 5-Year-Old Liam Home", was set up by a person named Sarai Orquiz, who said she was asked by the mother of preschooler Liam Ramos to create the fundraiser on her behalf to pay for the legal costs of seeking his release from custody.
