ICE Deports Babson College Freshman Despite Judge's Order, Harasses Family

Deportation of Any Lssucía López Belloza

• 📌 A 19-year-old Babson College freshman, Any Lssucía López Belloza, was arrested at Boston airport while attempting to surprise her family for Thanksgiving in Texas.
• ✈️ Despite her lawyer's efforts and a federal judge's order to halt deportation and require a court hearing, she was deported to Honduras.
• ⛓️ López Belloza reported being shackled at the ankles and wrists, and chained at the waist, during her transfer and deportation, likening it to a "perp walk."

Legal Challenges and ICE Conduct

• ⚖️ Her attorney states that López Belloza, who came to the U.S. as a 7-year-old asylum seeker, was unaware of any prior removal order and was legally pursuing asylum.
• 🏛️ A federal judge issued an order preventing her deportation, but ICE reportedly ignored it, claiming the judge lacked the authority to issue it.
• 🚫 ICE is accused of deleting her from databases to hide her custody and ignoring legal communications from her attorney, a pattern described as "contemptuous conduct."

Family Harassment

• ⚠️ Following the deportation and public statements by her family about the rights violations, her family in Texas is now reportedly being harassed by law enforcement.
• 🏡 Incidents include attempts to enter their backyard without a warrant and chasing her father into his home.

Broader Immigration Issues
