The Trump administration has issued an apology in court for a "mistake" concerning the deportation of a Massachusetts college student, Any Lucia Lopez Belloza. However, officials controversially argued that this error should not ultimately affect her case.
Lopez Belloza, a 19-year-old freshman at Babson College, was detained at Boston’s airport on November 20 and subsequently flown to Honduras two days later. Her removal occurred despite an emergency court order issued on November 21, which explicitly directed the government to keep her within Massachusetts or elsewhere in the United States for a minimum of 72 hours.
