Lucia Lopez Belloza
Lucia López Belloza is a 19-year-old business student who was deported from the United States to Honduras just days before Thanksgiving 2023, after being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Boston's airport. Originally from Honduras, she moved to the U.S. at the age of seven and was studying at Babson College when her unexpected arrest and subsequent deportation drew attention to the controversial practices of the Trump administration's immigration policies. López's case has been described as a glaring example of alleged abuses in the immigration system, as she was reportedly not given due process or the opportunity to challenge her removal.
