US EditionJudge suggests visa for college student deported to Honduras in violation of court order
After two months of litigation, the federal government admitted it mistakenly deported Any Lucia Lopez Belloza despite a court order, with a judge now considering remedies.
- On Nov. 20, Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, 19, Babson College student, was detained at Logan International Airport and deported to Honduras on Nov. 22, and federal prosecutors admitted ICE violated a court order.
- Under heightened enforcement, officials relied on an immigration judge's 2015 removal order, while prosecutors say an ICE agent mistakenly believed the court's stay no longer applied and failed to flag the order.
- A Nov. 21 federal stay barring transfers for 72 hours was ignored when she was flown to Texas, and U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns called the case 'bureaucracy gone wrong' suggesting a student visa as a remedy.
- The judge is considering remedies such as a student visa, reopening her removal case, or parole, with a ruling possible in a few days to weeks, after Sauter apologized in court.
- Lopez Belloza is taking Babson classes online while staying with grandparents in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, and the case highlights about 1.3 million people with final orders of removal.
