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.
So the ICE agents and commanding officer were arrested right? They are going to be punished……? Yeah……?
Sounds something like contempt of court. The judge could order they be arrested and held in jail until she is presented in court.
“Could”
Problem is, arrested by whom?
MA state police might go for it, but it’s a long shot.
Let’s start with the arrest warrant at least
Unlawful detention, obstruction of justice, overstepping bounds,…
Wait, qualified immunity.
What a joke.
Please don’t hinge any of your mental health on this hope. Things are going to get worse
I’m not looking forward to when we start finding mass graves, but I think it will happen
There’s already people missing from “Alligator Auschwitz”
Seriously?
If I recall, two thirds of the people registered as having entered couldn’t be found when the place was shut down.
Holy shit.
I remember reading a story about a woman who was apprehended by the ICEstapo and she was never seen again. Even the ICEstapo couldn’t tell anyone where she was. It happens a lot I have heard. Once you get apprehended bu the ICEstapo, you may never be seen again
That tracks. The Everglades have been used to disappear people for a long long time by criminals.
Oh…… that was so so soooooo sarcastic. I know nothing will happen except the same shit continuing.
Yes, there is definitely accountability. Otherwise this would be more and more common.
Can’t tell if sarcasm
It was
Notice how they are just arresting harmless people and are too chicken shit to go after gangs or organised crime?
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.
Exactly. It’s the only branch that doesn’t have some sort of law enforcement under them. And usually this is where someone interjects with US Marshalls!!1! In normal times, sure. Except they’re owned by the DOJ, and we all know how that would play out.
It’s really interesting that this problem became apparent all the way back in like 1830 with the Indian Removal Act but we kinda just didn’t do anything about it.
Yes and no. Police (non-federal) answer to mayors, city councils, commission boards, etc. Almost all elected positions. It’s just extremely corrupted at the local level. So next time when they murder someone in their own home without a warrant, don’t protest to the police chief. Protest to every individual member of the city council and commission board. Be a Karen, talk to their manager directly.
If the courts want to enforce the law, they can deputize citizens to carry out justice.
The judicial has no vehicle for enforcement.
County Sherrifs and U.S. Marshals?
US Marshals are under the DOJ and they’d be told to not act.
I think the judge would need to deputize someone so they could act outside the DOJ, or at least take directions from the judge.
Technically they do. If the executive is unable or fails to carry out their rulings, they can deputize anyone. They’re just too afraid to actually do it.
Yes they do. US Marshals.
The only court that counts is the Supreme Court, and MAGA owns it.
So… they trafficked a 19 year old.
Most Republican thing this year
Naah, she’s way too old for their tastes.
Probably the wrong skin color too given her country of origin, unless the whole opposite thing is true. Hate gay people because they are closeted gay, hate colored people cause they want to fuck them.
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.
Too bad the court serves the king.
The USA is a lawless shithole. I don’t understand how can they just do whatever the fuck they want without any consequences.
But if I defy orders I immediately get arrested
Try being whiter and more privileged.
Plenty of white people still get fucked for disobeying laws. It’s more so privilege and/or status/wealth.
It’s more so privilege and/or status/wealth.
And position. Cops are called class traitors for a reason. Being a cop is one of the few ways that a common peasant can effectively be unbound by the law. They’re the rich’s enforcers in class warfare, so they’re protected from being bound by the rich’s laws.
For sure. In my mind, I was considering position as part of the “privilege” aspect or status.
Three warning shots in your back are just as impossible to undo as blacksiteing.
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.
I’m confused how anyone “brown” thinks they’re safe leaving the house.
“What do you mean me? I never saw this coming!”
I’m brown and have started carrying my American passport card on me at all times. The issue is that there’s nothing stopping them from just taking it away when they stop me on the street, and deporting me anyways. They knowingly deport American citizens all the time.
I’m so sorry you have to do this and feel this way. You are smart to be careful and sensible for being afraid.
I don’t think the passport is gonna help. Maybe some pale foundation and a maga hat
They start abducting we’re start a shootin. I can’t afford a gun but there’s plenty of diy throwing knives out there.
Don’t discount the value of a slingshot. DIY versions can be as effective as commercially available models. Simple Y shaped slingshots are easy to conceal, easy to make, free to very cheap to shoot depending on what you use. Steel bearings are effective and available in a variety of sizes. Glass marbles practically vaporize when used on windows or streetlights ( these are my favorite). And rocks are potentially everywhere though harder to be accurate with.
They’ve been abducting since day 1.
You don’t do anything. You’ll fall in line.
What makes you say that?
History
Well if someone’s knocking down your door with a fake warrant what do you suppose should be done?
Kill them
So to be clear we’re talking about self defense not going around like a vigilante, good
Right. If a person exists in the world who intends to be a Nazi, it is self defense to kill them.
DIY firecrackers. The process is scalable.
Molotov cocktails for brunch.
Who’s what “we”? Haven’t seen anyone do anything against ICE’s kidnappings.
Can’t wait for the tweets that condemn this. I mean that’s all that will happen.
Truly the “worst of the worst”, violent criminal”, made member of el tren de aragua drug cartel. A real danger to the country and everyone in it. /s
Come on, she could have learned critical thinking ! That’s criminally dangerous! /S
