Ana Lucia Lopez Bello, a Babson College freshman, was mistakenly deported to Honduras in November despite a court order. Her attorney, Todd Pomerleau, is fighting for her return to the United States. U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns ordered the government to facilitate her return, but the United States===United States Department of Homeland Security and United States===United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement are accused of stalling and interpreting the order to allow for her detention upon arrival.
