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.

Unlike with most ice agents that can't be identified, a judge can try to find out who arrested this woman by contacting the person running the airport.

The federal judge could order that the person running the airport terminal be detained and provide information to the court about which department of homeland security employees were responsible. If the person refuses to answer, the person could be arrested and held in contempt in a cell until they comply.

The federal judge could then issue an arrest for contempt of court orders for the department of homeland security officers responsible for violating the order and detain whoever deported this woman until she is brought back.

If this judge did this, it would likely be appealed immediately to the supreme court who would side with trump who would oppose it, the homeland security officers would be released, and nothing else would be done.

There is no mechanism to enforce a judicial order that protects immigrants when you have a supreme court that rubber stamps trump immigration policy.

Although this is terrible, probably 55% of the country still supports harsh immigration policies, even policies that lack process and violate judicial orders, if it gets rid of more brown people, and they have elected the most ruthless anti-immigration anti-POC people to get that done. In general, many American conventions of "process" and "rights" have been illusory in nature for a long time: people had rights if they had money, otherwise there was no enforcement mechanism. Many of the most important rights, like a right to a jury trial, can be taken away by giving people a jury trial that is unfair (no meaningful representation, no meaningful investigation, evidence withheld, a jury that only represents a certain segment of society) and even now it is mostly impossible to appeal such sham trials. Now, a person of color, even with meaningful representation, has no rights if they are Latino and they can't prove they were born inside the USA.

Imagine that poor girl's terror. She probably debated whether to stay at home and is so upset she decided to travel.

Probably the only way is to start anonymously recommending any Republicans/MEGA for deportation. Most people don't live their day to day lives with official papers and passports on them. Just say they are good at faking being American but are actually here illegally from whatever country their ancestors came from. They might not get deported but they might spend some time in ICE detention.

You little Fuentes cock sucker I would beat the living snot out of you. I swear I would make your face more ugly men at your compound won't want to fuck your ass anymore.

[–] JustAnotherPodunk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Dude, your a fucking psycho. Take a chill pill and sober the fuck up.

[–] lefthandeddude@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

Men at a compound fucking my ass? I don't know what sort of paradise realm you think I live in, but my sex life is not that awesome. Sadly, you don't have to beat my face to reduce the amount of men fucking me.

I still don't understand what you are getting at or if you are trolling.

Do you think I am a paid person outside of the USA? Is that what you are saying?

Actually, I estimated this statistic again and you're right that 65% may be overly high.

I based 65% on the fact that much of the USA is rural and rural USA is predominantly white and against immigration and against the changing racial makeup of the country.

That right there is a good 50 percent of the country, approximately, and nearly all of them feel that way, except for the youngest people in those areas possibly. So that right there would be over 45%. I also think it's a decent guess that 20 percent of people in cities support harsh immigration policies. 55-60% is a better guess. It is a guess, and there may be polls that contradict that statistic, but it's also been shown that many racist people are either less likely to answer polls or simply lie when polled. It is a shockingly large amount of people who support a lot of ICE's cruelty, even if they dislike some aspects of how it is being done. If you can provide a better estimate with reasoning, I'd be interested in reading it.

More than half the country supports ICE? That is such a flawed number I thought you were trolling me. Like seriously?

[–] GLOOMSDAY@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

65% of Americans are fine without due process? If it gets rid of more brown people?

Where is your garbage country Ramesh?

I have dual citizenship with Russia and India, apparently. Where is all this hostility coming from? I'm not someone who elected Trump, especially since I apparently spend half my time in Russia and half in India.

Unfortunately a large part of America is racist and are fine with less due process if it gets rid of brown people. People knew what they were getting when they voted Trump, and the Supreme Court saying brown skin can be used as part of a basis for detaining people to determine if they have legal immigration status is a sad and horrible reality. The loud urban part of America has protested, the quiet rural part has not -- merely indicating they find it distasteful. I hope I am wrong and you are completely right and there is a sweeping change of power, kicking out all the MAGA Republicans.

Also, calling me Ramesh is really not kind to the Indian Americans and Indians who use Lemmy. I think it's less likely Lemmy users are named Vlad, but still, this is actually possibly hurtful to some people. "Garbage country" is also really a hurtful thing to say when Lemmy can be used worldwide.

[–] lefthandeddude@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

No, I wasn't, nor was I trying to pretend to somehow support MAGA to make it seem like they are more popular than they are. There are changing demographics in the USA but a large number of people are still rural and white. My understanding is most of them want this and they are unhappy with MAGA's economic policies but like the immigration changes and what is happening with ICE.

I am guessing you are just shit-faced drunk and this is a reading comprehension issue that will be become clearer later.

To get brown people out?
