A 19-year-old college student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving break was detained at a Boston airport and later deported despite a federal judge’s order blocking her removal, according to her attorney.

Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, who entered the U.S. from Honduras when she was 8 years old, was about to board her flight to Texas last Friday to visit her parents and siblings when airport authorities told her to step aside, her attorney Todd Pomerleau told ABC News.

Lopez Belloza was detained, informed that she had a removal order and then arrested, her attorney said. Hours after her detainment, court documents obtained by ABC News show that a federal judge ordered the government not to remove the 19-year-old from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts.

      Sounds something like contempt of court. The judge could order they be arrested and held in jail until she is presented in court.

      Yes, there is definitely accountability. Otherwise this would be more and more common.

    I just don’t understand how they can ignore federal judges and there’s no consequences for anyone. These fascist creatures make me want to vomit.

      The judicial has no vehicle for enforcement. Policing is an executive function, and ICE under frump has basically no guardrails, and no other policing body is doing anything to check them.

    Yeah, deport those trying to get educated and contribute to society. That’s the way to make your country great again. mumbles under breath about nurses who finished their education and workplace years just to be deported upon being qualified (equivalent of) registered nurses in Sweden

      Remember that an intelligent population is dangerous for fascists, they don’t care about intelligence or knowledge, they only care that you are doing what they say.

    The USA is a lawless shithole. I don’t understand how can they just do whatever the fuck they want without any consequences.
