Judge gives US 2 weeks to retrieve student deported to Honduras while traveling for Thanksgiving

The government admitted wrongly deporting Any Lucia Lopez Belloza and failed to resolve the issue, prompting a federal judge to set a two-week return deadline.

  • In his ruling on Tuesday, US District Judge Richard G. Stearns ordered Any Lucia Lopez Belloza returned to the United States no later than 14 days from Friday, saying it is time for the government to make amends.
  • Because of a clerical error, court records say ICE agents removed her despite a 72-hour stay obtained by her lawyer.',' and a clerical/agent error resulted in her being flown to Honduras.
  • She was detained at Logan Airport, Boston while bound for Texas, handcuffed and taken to ICE's Burlington field office before being held with other women and placed on the deportation flight via Texas to Honduras.
  • Stearns gave officials until Feb. 18, 2026 to file a status report and ordered the federal government to return her by Feb. 26, warning of possible contempt if it fails.
  • Belloza remains in Honduras living with her grandmother and continuing Babson College coursework remotely, while federal filings show officials apologized but argued a student visa `is unfeasible`.
