A 19-year-old college freshman got detained at Boston Logan International Airport while trying to catch a flight to surprise her dad for Thanksgiving, and she ended up getting deported to Honduras two days later. Any Lucía López Belloza had been living in the US since she was 7, but apparently, there was a deportation order from 2015 that nobody in her family knew about. Her lawyer says he can't even find the original order in the system, and DHS claims she got full due process as a kid.
The wild part is that a federal judge had signed a court order saying she couldn't be removed while her case was pending, but immigration agents grabbed her at the airport anyway. She spent time in detention in Texas before getting put on a bus with shackles, and then they flew her back to Honduras. Her dad says she never signed anything agreeing to leave, and the whole family is devastated because she was doing really well at Babson College, studying business.
