Nayna Gupta, the policy director at the American Immigration Council, has also been assisting the family with the case, quickly scrambling to find local lawyers and contact representatives on Thursday evening after hearing of the case. Lopez Belloza apparently had a removal order from around 2017 that neither she nor her family was aware of, Gupta said.
“They didn’t know to show up somewhere, and she certainly had no idea of any of this,” Gupta said.
At the beginning of the second Trump administration, about 1.3 million people had final orders of removal — but many people do not know that they have these outstanding orders against them, Gupta said. The orders can be issued in immigration court when people are not physically present, and notifications are often mailed to old addresses, Gupta said.
“For decades, the United States government has not prioritized those people for removal,” Gupta said.
But under the Trump administration, there has been a substantial shift. “People with final orders of removal, like this young college freshman from Babson College, are highly vulnerable under an administration that is pursuing such a cruel and indiscriminate deportation agenda,” Gupta said.
