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.

    More than half the country supports ICE? That is such a flawed number I thought you were trolling me. Like seriously?

      No, I wasn’t, nor was I trying to pretend to somehow support MAGA to make it seem like they are more popular than they are. There are changing demographics in the USA but a large number of people are still rural and white. My understanding is most of them want this and they are unhappy with MAGA’s economic policies but like the immigration changes and what is happening with ICE.

          I have dual citizenship with Russia and India, apparently. Where is all this hostility coming from? I’m not someone who elected Trump, especially since I apparently spend half my time in Russia and half in India.

          Unfortunately a large part of America is racist and are fine with less due process if it gets rid of brown people. People knew what they were getting when they voted Trump, and the Supreme Court saying brown skin can be used as part of a basis for detaining people to determine if they have legal immigration status is a sad and horrible reality. The loud urban part of America has protested, the quiet rural part has not – merely indicating they find it distasteful. I hope I am wrong and you are completely right and there is a sweeping change of power, kicking out all the MAGA Republicans.

          Also, calling me Ramesh is really not kind to the Indian Americans and Indians who use Lemmy. I think it’s less likely Lemmy users are named Vlad, but still, this is actually possibly hurtful to some people. “Garbage country” is also really a hurtful thing to say when Lemmy can be used worldwide.
