"She has since told The Associated Press news agency that she was denied access to a lawyer after her initial detention at the airport. The immigration agent told her she would need to sign a deportation document first, according to Lopez Belloza, who said she denied the offer.

A United States court ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of Babson College student Any Lucia Lopez Belloza after a wrongful deportation. US District Judge Richard Stearns gave the government two weeks to take steps to bring her back and warned he could hold the government in contempt if it fails. The judge characterized the order as an opportunity to correct a mistake and urged the government to make amends. Lopez Belloza was arrested at Boston's Logan Airport on November 20, detained without access to a lawyer, and deported to Honduras on November 22 in violation of a 72-hour court stay. She has remained in Honduras since her deportation.
