Federal judge demanded the release of a detained 5-year-old and his illegal immigrant father from a Texas immigration facility, citing "traumatizing children."

He also cited the "pesky inconvenience called the Fourth Amendment" that protects people from "unreasonable searches and seizures."

"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster," he wrote. "That is called the fox guarding the henhouse. The Constitution requires an independent judicial officer."

He added, "Observing human behavior confirms that for some among us, the perfidious lust for unbridled power and the imposition of cruelty in its quest know no bounds and are bereft of human decency. And the rule of law be damned."

Biery said Ramos and his father could be deported, but added "that result should occur through a more orderly and humane policy than currently in place."

McLaughlin also posted a statement from Dr. Sean Conley, acting director of DHS’ Office of Health Security and chief medical officer, in which he addressed the child’s condition.

Conley said that a pediatrician examined Ramos and "found no medical concerns."

"It is standard policy to provide medical care from the moment an alien enters ICE custody. This includes medical, dental and mental health intake screening within 12 hours of arriving at each detention facility, a full health assessment within 14 days of entering ICE custody or arrival at a facility and access to necessary medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care. This is the best healthcare many of these individuals have received in their entire lives," he said.
