US Edition25 Investigates: Babson College Student Remains in Honduras, Fearing Federal Government ‘Trap’
A federal court found the deportation of Babson freshman Any Lucia Lopez Belloza a mistake and ordered her return by Feb. 27, though she remains in Honduras amid legal disputes.
- By Feb. 27, U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns ordered the return of 19-year-old Any Lucia Lopez Belloza while federal prosecutors scheduled an ICE-arranged flight but warned she could face detention and deportation upon arrival.
- In court papers, prosecutors contend a final order of removal issued in childhood controls Lopez Belloza’s status, permitting her detention if returned, DHS says.
- Court documents show ICE arranged a flight leaving San Pedro Sula to Harlingen, Texas, on Friday, while prosecutors acknowledged her mistaken deportation.
- Her legal team announced Lopez Belloza will not board the government flight, calling it a `trap`, and she will remain in Honduras with her grandparents while legal fights continue.
- Lawyers and lawmakers say the Massachusetts U.S. District Court clash over timing frustrates review, as federal government appeals argue lack of jurisdiction after Friday's deadline.
