Concord, N.H. (AP) — 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 Nov. 20 when she was told there was an issue with her boarding pass, said attorney Todd Pomerleau. The Babson College student was then detained by immigration officials and within two days, sent to Texas and then Honduras, the country she left at age 7.
“She’s absolutely heartbroken,” Pomerleau said. “Her college dream has just been shattered.”
According to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, 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’s found indicates her case was closed in 2017.

This is why it’s important to elect Mamdanis and not Bidens or Obamas. All of the incremental power grabs by the executive branch over the last two decades have led to the current extremist state of the US and its attendant lack of any meaningful opposition among the Democrats, most of whom have records supporting some form of these fascist power grabs because term limits don’t exist but for the presidency.
