Active Measure Decoder

  • This AP sob-story about “college freshman” Any Lucia Lopez Belloza is a textbook Active Measure straight out of the Ideological Subversion playbook—classic Demoralization stage wrapped in Thanksgiving tears.

  • The narrative is engineered to erode faith in American sovereignty, border enforcement, and the rule of law while weaponizing Christian compassion against the very civilization it claims to celebrate.

  • By presenting an attractive, English-speaking, “dreamer”-type 19-year-old business major who “just wanted to surprise Mom for turkey dinner” as the victim of heartless ICE jackboots who supposedly ignored a federal judge, the article flips the script: the illegal alien becomes the real American, and the lawful deportation process becomes the cruel oppressor.

  • This is deliberate agitation-propaganda designed to make patriotic Americans feel ashamed of defending their own borders during the most family-centered, traditionally Christian holiday of holidays.

 

 

Concord, New Hampshire 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 November 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.

“She’s absolutely heartbroken,” Pomerleau said. “Her college dream has just been shattered.”

According to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an immigration judge ordered Lopez Belloza deported in 2015. Pomerleau said she wasn’t aware of any removal order, however, and the only record he’s found indicates her case was closed in 2017.

“They’re holding her responsible for something they claim happened a decade ago that she’s completely unaware of and not showing any of the proof,” the lawyer said.

The day after Lopez Belloza was arrested, a federal judge issued an emergency order prohibiting the government from moving her out of Massachusetts or the United States for at least 72 hours.

ICE did not respond to an email Friday from The Associated Press seeking comment about violating that order. Babson College also did not respond to an email seeking comment.

Lopez Belloza, who is staying with her grandparents in Honduras, told The Boston Globe she had been looking forward to telling her parents and younger sisters about her first semester studying business.

“That was my dream,” she said. “I’m losing everything.”
