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.
I’m confused how anyone “brown” thinks they’re safe leaving the house.
“What do you mean me? I never saw this coming!”
I’m brown and have started carrying my American passport card on me at all times. The issue is that there’s nothing stopping them from just taking it away when they stop me on the street, and deporting me anyways. They knowingly deport American citizens all the time.
I’m so sorry you have to do this and feel this way. You are smart to be careful and sensible for being afraid.
I don’t think the passport is gonna help. Maybe some pale foundation and a maga hat
