Protesters clashed with state troopers on Wednesday outside a Texas detention centre where a pre-schooler and his father are being held after immigration officers took them into custody in Minnesota last week.
ICE officers first detained 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, in Minneapolis on 20 January before the two were relocated to the Dilley, Texas, facility.
Several lawmakers also visited the facility on Wednesday, speaking out against the father and son's detention, and urging the Trump administration to release them.
The Department of Homeland Security has said the pair entered the US illegally, while a lawyer for the family said they followed proper protocols to seek asylum.
Community organisers, unions and faith leaders from across Texas marched to the facility after holding a vigil nearby "to amplify the voices and protests of children and families held in detention against their will," the organisers said in a press release.
