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.

    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.
