Donald Trump is cracking down on illegal immigration. However, there are those who have been deported who shouldn’t have. Now, the Trump administration has apologized to a 19-year-old student who was simply flying home for Thanksgiving but was not allowed to return.
Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a 19-year-old Babson College freshman, was detained at Boston’s airport on November 20. She was set to travel home to Texas to spend Thanksgiving with her family.
However, hugs from her parents and two younger sisters were exchanged with federal immigration officials. Moments before she boarded the flight, Lopez Belloza was informed that her boarding pass was incorrect.
Her lawyer, Todd Pomerleau, explained to CNN that while on her way to customer service, she was “surrounded, (placed) in handcuffs, and dragged out of the airport.”
