Mental Attack

A US federal judge in Boston on Friday gave the Trump administration three weeks to “rectify the mistake” it made by deporting a college student to Honduras while she was traveling home to visit her family for Thanksgiving as he recommended it issue her a student visa.

The US district judge, Richard Stearns, imposed the deadline after a lawyer for the administration earlier this week apologized for having violated a court order that should have prevented 19-year-old Any Lucia López Belloza from being sent to Honduras. She is a Honduran national who was brought to the United States by her mother when she was eight while seeking asylum.

“There is happily no one-size-fits-all solution for seeing that justice be done in what all agree was an amalgam of errors that ended badly for Any,” he said.

Trump administration says deporting college student trying to surprise family was a ‘mistake’

Stearns said the “simplest solution” would be for the US state department to issue her a visa. The alternative, he said, would be for him to order the Trump administration to arrange for López Belloza’s return, with a threat of holding the government in contempt if it refused.

He gave the administration 21 days to inform him of how it will proceed. The justice department declined to comment. Her lawyer did not respond immediately to a request for comment.

López Belloza, a freshman at Babson college in Massachusetts, was arrested on 20 November at Boston’s Logan airport while trying to travel home to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving.
