19-year-old college student deported despite judge's order blocking her removal: Lawyer
Source: ABC News
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.
But according to Pomerleau, Lopez Belloza was transferred that evening to Texas and deported to Honduras the next day.

It was not a general open parole for all Hondurans; it was a specific, family‑reunification‑type pathway that ran from about 2014 until it was terminated in 2017.
So, under Obama, naturally. He's so obviously jealous of Obama it's just pathetic and SAD. Such a loser!!!
And that's the Party of Family Values for ya, right there.

If true, then that's pre-Trump.

(2,433 posts)And I think the judge who ordered her NOT removed would have said the opposite about her if what the ICE fascists said were true. Just seems logical given the observations both in this particular case, and of late generally. No?
