A 19-year-old college student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving break was detained at a Boston airport and later deported despite a federal judge’s order blocking her removal, according to her attorney.

Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, who entered the U.S. from Honduras when she was 8 years old, was about to board her flight to Texas last Friday to visit her parents and siblings when airport authorities told her to step aside, her attorney Todd Pomerleau told ABC News.

Lopez Belloza was detained, informed that she had a removal order and then arrested, her attorney said. Hours after her detainment, court documents obtained by ABC News show that a federal judge ordered the government not to remove the 19-year-old from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts.

    I’m confused how anyone “brown” thinks they’re safe leaving the house.

    “What do you mean me? I never saw this coming!”

    I just don’t understand how they can ignore federal judges and there’s no consequences for anyone. These fascist creatures make me want to vomit.

      The judicial has no vehicle for enforcement. Policing is an executive function, and ICE under frump has basically no guardrails, and no other policing body is doing anything to check them.

        Yes and no. Police (non-federal) answer to mayors, city councils, commission boards, etc. Almost all elected positions. It’s just extremely corrupted at the local level. So next time when they murder someone in their own home without a warrant, don’t protest to the police chief. Protest to every individual member of the city council and commission board. Be a Karen, talk to their manager directly.

        Exactly. It’s the only branch that doesn’t have some sort of law enforcement under them. And usually this is where someone interjects with US Marshalls!!1! In normal times, sure. Except they’re owned by the DOJ, and we all know how that would play out.

        It’s really interesting that this problem became apparent all the way back in like 1830 with the Indian Removal Act but we kinda just didn’t do anything about it.

    Yeah, deport those trying to get educated and contribute to society. That’s the way to make your country great again. mumbles under breath about nurses who finished their education and workplace years just to be deported upon being qualified (equivalent of) registered nurses in Sweden

      Remember that an intelligent population is dangerous for fascists, they don’t care about intelligence or knowledge, they only care that you are doing what they say.

    The USA is a lawless shithole. I don’t understand how can they just do whatever the fuck they want without any consequences.

      Don’t discount the value of a slingshot. DIY versions can be as effective as commercially available models. Simple Y shaped slingshots are easy to conceal, easy to make, free to very cheap to shoot depending on what you use. Steel bearings are effective and available in a variety of sizes. Glass marbles practically vaporize when used on windows or streetlights ( these are my favorite). And rocks are potentially everywhere though harder to be accurate with.
