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 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.
If the courts want to enforce the law, they can deputize citizens to carry out justice.
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.
