859 Concord, N.H. (AP) — A college freshman trying to fly from Boston to Texas to surprise her family for Thanksgiving was instead deported to Honduras in violation of a court order, according to her attorney.

Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, 19, had already passed through security at Boston Logan International Airport on Nov. 20 when she was told there was an issue with her boarding pass, said attorney Todd Pomerleau. The Babson College student was then detained by immigration officials and within two days, sent to Texas and then Honduras, the country she left at age 7.

I’m so glad we’re getting these hardened criminals out of the country. Can you imagine what this country would be like if we had college educated young people running around doing all those crimes they’re known for, like… paying taxes, starting business, inventing things, advancing science, just generally being very good for society.

Typically voting Democratic. That’s the real potential crime that frightens Dear Leader
