Lopez Belloza is not a criminal. She is a business major at Babson College. Her heartbreaking experience serves as further proof that the Trump administration is defying the law with its dehumanizing deportation machine

Instead of having everyone home for the holidays, one Austin family spent Thanksgiving reeling from tragedy. Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a 19-year-old student at a Massachusetts university, was deported after attempting to board a plane in Boston to surprise her family in Austin.

Lopez Belloza is not a criminal. She is a business major at Babson College, the country’s top ranked school for entrepreneurship. 

Her heartbreaking experience serves as further proof that the Trump administration’s insistence it is going after the “worst of the worst” has been nothing but the spoonful of sugar helping its xenophobic policy go down.
