Overview
- Any Lucía López Belloza, 19, was detained at Boston Logan on Nov. 20 and deported to Honduras within roughly 30–48 hours.
- A Dec. 3 government filing argues the Massachusetts habeas case is moot because she was in Texas custody at the time and later released from detention.
- Her lawyers say there is no reliable record of a 2015 removal order and contend the deportation defied a Nov. 21 federal order barring transfer or removal during review.
- On Sunday, three unmarked vehicles with an agent in an ERO vest appeared at the family’s Austin home; the father reports a backyard entry without a warrant before agents left after about two hours.
- A DHS spokesperson described airport enforcement as routine and noted TSA involvement, while members of Congress sought her return and legal experts cited a broader strategy of rapid transfers that can outpace court oversight.
