"A federal judge said it was a "sad truth" that he lost jurisdiction over the case when Any Lucia López Belloza decided to not board a government-offered flight back from Honduras. Belloza previously said she didn't want to return out of fear that she would be deported again."
"The judge found that the government complied with his order to bring Belloza back by offering the flight, according to the Globe. Her lawyers have appealed the dismissal."
A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit of Babson College freshman Any Lucia López Belloza challenging her deportation, which the government admitted was a mistake. López Belloza was detained in November while traveling home for the holidays. After the government offered her a flight back from Honduras, she refused to board it, fearing another deportation. The judge determined he lost jurisdiction over the case once López Belloza declined the government-provided flight, despite acknowledging this outcome as a "sad truth." The judge found the government complied with his order by offering the flight. López Belloza's lawyers have appealed the dismissal.
