The Justice Department acknowledged that immigration authorities deported Babson College student Any Lucia Lopez Belloza in violation of a federal court order but told a U.S. district judge that facilitating her return would be “unfeasible.” The filing follows Judge Richard Stearns’s order demanding the government explain how it would remedy the wrongful removal and raised the prospect of contempt proceedings. Government lawyers characterized the deportation as a mistake by an ICE officer who failed to flag the court order; nevertheless, the administration rejected the judge’s suggestion that the State Department issue a student visa to bring the student back. The episode highlights recurring tensions between courts and immigration enforcement and presents a direct operational and legal risk to colleges that enroll noncitizen students. Higher‑education officials and attorneys say the case underscores the fragile protections international students can face when administrative errors collide with aggressive deportation enforcement. The case will be closely watched by campus legal offices, admissions teams and international student advisors as it moves through court.
