The administration conceded immigration officers violated a federal court order when they removed Babson College undergraduate Any Lucia Lopez Belloza to Honduras, but the Justice Department told a Boston judge it will not facilitate her return. Government lawyers described the removal as an operational “mistake,” while rejecting the court’s suggestion that consular or visa action could immediately remedy the harm. Judge Richard Stearns is weighing contempt and remedies after defense attorneys acknowledged the deportation conflicted with an active judicial stay. Babson College and the student’s counsel say the case exposes a pattern of enforcement that ignores judicial directives and leaves international students and institutions exposed to abrupt disruptions. The dispute underscores operational and legal tensions between immigration enforcement agencies and courts; universities with large international enrollments say the ruling raises questions about campus safety, counsel access, and the protections available to students with pending legal actions.
