Judge slams Trump officials after bungled deportation: 'Time to make amends'

A Boston federal judge has handed down a stern rebuke to the Trump administration, ordering officials to bring back a 20-year-old Honduran college student who was deported in flagrant violation of a court order.

U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns gave the administration just two weeks to facilitate the return of Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a Babson College freshman who was yanked from Boston's Logan Airport and flown to Honduras in November despite her lawyer securing a protection order the day before, Reuters reported.

The dramatic ruling came after the administration repeatedly refused to cooperate. The State Department called issuing Lopez Belloza a new student visa "unfeasible," while Immigration and Customs Enforcement flatly declined to help bring her back.

"Wisdom counsels that redemption may be found by acknowledging and fixing our own errors," Stearns wrote in his decision. "In this unfortunate case, the government commendably admits that it did wrong. Now it is time for the government to make amends.

Lopez Belloza, who arrived in America at age 8 with her mother seeking asylum, said she had no idea she faced a deportation order. An ICE officer's failure to properly flag her protection order led to the bungled deportation, which government lawyers admitted was a "mistake."

She's now waiting in Honduras with her grandparents, hoping to return to her studies.

UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT

The post UK FCA Plans to Waive Some Rules for Crypto Companies: FT appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has plans to waive some of its rules for cryptocurrency companies, according to a Financial Times (FT) report on Wednesday. However, in another areas the FCA intends to tighten the rules where they pertain to industry-specific risks, such as cyber attacks. The financial watchdog wishes to adapt its existing rules for financial service companies to the unique nature of cryptoassets, the FT reported, citing a consultation paper published Wednesday. “You have to recognize that some of these things are very different,” David Geale, the FCA’s executive director for payments and digital finance, said in an interview, according to the report, adding that a “lift and drop” of existing traditional finance rules would not be effective with crypto. One such area that may be handled differently is the stipulation that a firm “must conduct its business with integrity” and “pay due regard to the interest of its customers and treat them fairly.” Crypto companies would be given less strict requirements than banks or investment platforms on rules concerning senior managers, systems and controls, as cryptocurrency firms “do not typically pose the same level of systemic risk,” the FCA said. Firms would also not have to offer customers a cooling off period due to the voltatile nature of crypto prices, nor would technology be classed as an outsourcing arrangement requiring extra risk management. This is because blockchain technology is often permissionless, meaning anyone can participate without the input of an intermediary. Other areas of crypto regulation remain undecided. The FCA has plans to fully integrate cryptocurrency into its regulatory framework from 2026.
