I accept their apologies.

And I hope that based on this apology, I'm able to return back to my studies and also to be home with my parents.

The Trump administration has made a rare admission.

It said it made a mistake when it deported a college student who was trying to fly home for Thanksgiving.

Nineteen-year-old Ani Lopez-Beloza, who was brought from Honduras to the U.S.

when she was seven, was on her way to visit family in Texas when immigration agents detained her at the airport in Boston.

The next day, a judge signed an order saying she could not be removed from the U.S.

while her case was pending.

But the day after that, she was put on a flight to Honduras, one of multiple times that the administration has ignored court orders and pushed forward with deportations.

In court this week, a judge said he would try and find a solution so that she can return to the U.S.

and get back to school, though the government hasn't dropped its case against her.

Since she was deported, her family has faced intimidation from immigration authorities.

Her parents said that last month, agents appeared outside their home in Texas in three unmarked cars.

One agent rushed at her father, but he fled into the house and locked the door.

at the White House yesterday.

Maria Carino Machado, the Venezuelan opposition leader who won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, gave her award to President Trump.

She's been trying to curry favor with him since he ousted Nicolas Maduro, but he has not backed her efforts to lead Venezuela, saying she's a very nice woman, but she doesn't have the respect needed to be president.

It's not immediately clear what, if anything, she got out of her meeting with Trump yesterday.

Afterward, the White House posted an image on social media showing Trump holding up an ornate framed plaque with the gold prize in the middle of it and an inscription recognizing his, quote, principled and decisive action to secure a free Venezuela.

Machado's highly unusual gesture came after Trump has spent months saying that he should have won the award.
