代表一名19岁大学生的律师移至洪都拉斯尽管有法院的命令,但在回家过感恩节的路上,她说他的当事人“被戴着镣铐驱逐出境,就像她是一个谋杀嫌疑犯一样。”
“他们在感恩节前几天驱逐了一个带着镣铐和手铐的孩子,”律师托德·波默罗告诉美国广播公司新闻。
露西娅·洛佩兹·贝洛扎(Any Lucia Lopez Belloza)小时候从洪都拉斯进入美国,上周五她正要登上从马萨诸塞州飞往德克萨斯州的航班,去看望她的父母和兄弟姐妹当机场当局逮捕她时。
ABC新闻获得的法庭文件显示,在她被拘留的几个小时内,一名联邦法官命令政府不要将洛佩兹·贝洛扎从美国驱逐出境,也不要将她转移到马萨诸塞州以外。但是根据Pomerleau的说法,洛佩斯·贝洛扎当晚被转移到德克萨斯州,第二天被驱逐到洪都拉斯。
“她七岁左右来到这里,不,逃离迫害,和家人一起寻求庇护...现在她正坐在洪都拉斯,”Pomerleau说。“这根本不应该发生在她身上。”
Pomerleau说,移民当局通知Lopez Belloza,她在2015年收到了驱逐令,但他没有看到她最初驱逐令的记录,尽管这种命令通常可以在移民审查执行办公室的数据库中找到。
无论如何,Pomerleau说,她不应该被驱逐出境,因为联邦法官阻止了她的驱逐。
Pomerleau说:“尽管联邦法官下令维持现状,但任何人都被驱逐出境,这凸显了ICE缺乏沟通和他们行动的快节奏性质。”
Pomerleau说,他将寻求洛佩兹贝洛萨的回归。
“她受到法律保护,”他说。“她仍在美国境内,宪法适用于她,就像适用于其他所有人一样。所以我们要确保她的权利得到维护。我们不会停下来,直到她回来。”
Lawyer says student who was removed despite a court order was 'deported in shackles'
The attorney representing a 19-year-old college student who wasremoved to Honduras, despite a court order, while on her way home for Thanksgiving break, said his client was "deported in shackles like she's a murder suspect."
"They deported a child alone in shackles and handcuffs a few days before Thanksgiving," attorney Todd Pomerleau told ABC News.
Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, who entered the U.S. from Honduras when she was a young child, was about to board her flight from Massachusetts to Texas last Friday to visit her parents and siblingswhen airport authorities arrested her.
Court documents obtained by ABC News show that within hours of her detainment, a federal judge ordered the government not to remove Lopez Belloza from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts. But according to Pomerleau, Lopez Belloza was transferred that evening to Texas and deported to Honduras the next day.
"She came here around seven years old, no, fleeing persecution with her family seeking asylum ... and now she's sitting in Honduras," Pomerleau said. "This shouldn't happen to her at all."
Pomerleau said that immigration authorities informed Lopez Belloza that she was issued a removal order in 2015, but that he hasn't seen a record of her original deportation order even though such orders are usually available in the Executive Office for Immigration Review database.
Regardless, Pomerleau said, she should not have been deported because a federal judge blocked her removal.
"The lack of communication from ICE and the fast-paced nature of their actions are highlighted with Any being deported despite a federal judge's order to maintain the status quo," Pomerleau said.
Pomerleau said he will be seeking Lopez Belloza's return.
"She had protections under the law," he said. "She was still in U.S. soil, and the Constitution applies to her like it does to everybody else. So we're going to make sure her rights are upheld. We're not stopping till she's returned."
