"A college freshman trying to fly from Boston to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving was instead deported to Honduras in violation of a court order, according to her attorney. Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, 19, had already passed through security at Boston Logan international airport on 20 November when she was told there was an issue with her boarding pass, said attorney Todd Pomerleau."
"According to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an immigration judge ordered Lopez Belloza deported in 2015. Pomerleau said she wasn't aware of any removal order, however, and the only record he has found indicates her case was closed in 2017. They're holding her responsible for something they claim happened a decade ago that she's completely unaware of and not showing any of the proof, the lawyer said."
Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, 19, was detained at Boston Logan International Airport on 20 November after an issue was reported with her boarding pass. She had passed security and intended to fly to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving. Immigration officials detained her, and within two days she was sent to Texas and then deported to Honduras, the country she left at age seven. Her attorney says a federal judge issued an emergency order prohibiting movement out of Massachusetts or the US for 72 hours, but she was moved anyway. ICE says an immigration judge ordered her deportation in 2015; her attorney says records show the case closed in 2017. She is staying with her grandparents in Honduras and says she has lost her college dream.
