Judge urges US grant visa to college student deported due to 'mistake'
A federal judge gave the government three weeks to propose how to address deporting a 19-year-old Babson student despite a court order, calling it a bureaucratic error.
- On Tuesday in Boston federal court, Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Sauter apologized on the record and the government acknowledged violating U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns' order due to an ICE agent misreading it.
- Detained at Logan while showing her ticket, Lopez Belloza was transferred in handcuffs through multiple locations and deported to Honduras about two days later despite an emergency order to keep her in the U.S. for at least 72 hours.
- Government lawyers argued the court lacks jurisdiction, citing a 2016 removal order and filings made hours after Lopez Belloza arrived in Texas.
- Now staying with grandparents in San Pedro Sula, Lopez Belloza continues Babson College coursework remotely while suffering anxiety, and her family in Austin fears arrest after ICE agents targeted their home.
- Judge Stearns pushed lawyers to identify a path to let her return and remain legally, with proposals including restoring the status quo via DHS and State Department coordination or a student visa, as advocates highlight this as the latest deportation despite court orders.
