Babson Freshman Deported After Airport Arrest Despite Emergency Court Order

Her attorney is seeking her return in court, alleging ICE defied an emergency stay on her removal.

Overview

  • The 19-year-old, Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, was detained at Boston Logan on November 20 and removed to Honduras on November 22.
  • She was stopped over a supposed boarding-pass issue, handcuffed, and taken into ICE custody without being shown a warrant or removal order, her lawyer says.
  • A federal judge issued a 72-hour order barring her transfer from Massachusetts or the United States, yet she was flown to Texas and deported two days later, according to her attorney.
  • DHS says an immigration judge ordered her removal in 2015, while her attorney cites database entries showing a 2017 case closure and no proof of an earlier order.
  • Babson College told faculty and staff to provide academic and community support as she stays with grandparents in Honduras and legal efforts to secure her return proceed.
