Dallas teenager found after being mistakenly deported to Colombia | The Raw Story

In a truly incredible story, a Dallas woman has located her 15-year-old granddaughter after she was mistakenly deported to the country of Colombia.

...

Jakadrien ended up being arrested for theft in Houston, and gave police a fake name. Authorities matched the name with a 22-year-old illegal immigrant from Columbia, leading to them contacting the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The ICE deported the girl in April 2011 despite not confirming her identify. The Columbian government released her and provided her a work card.

...

Jakadrien is African-American, and at the time of her deportation could not speak Spanish.

Lol! Exactly.

This girl has only herself to blame for her outcome through her poor choices. For one she was a thief that was stealing, and then instead of taking her punishment responsibly she tried to lie out of it where someone else could have potentially gotten charged or mistaken down the road to where they had to deal with this mess.

Yet, we've got people who would actually feel sorry for this girl. How about not stealing and lying to the authorities. You get some bleeding heart liberal like the OP and they just want to bash the country for a problem like this. If anything our country should be bashed for not upholding our immigration laws more and deporting more criminals out of here. Theft is one of the biggest problems in this country.

Who's feeling sorry for her? I think it's funny that the process could screw up like this. After all, she's black and doesn't speak Spanish. Sure, she's a stupid girlbut at least she had the adventure of a life time and a good story to tell her grand kids someday. Maybe she learned something along the way.

Not surprising in the least. BCIS was galactically incompetent when it was INS. Sad that things haven't improved in the 10+ years since 9/11.

Six months after Sept. 11, hijackers' visa approval letters received - CNN

Quote:
Six months to the day after Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi flew planes into the World Trade Center, the Immigration and Naturalization Service notified a Venice, Florida, flight school that the two men had been approved for student visas.

Rudi Dekkers of Huffman Aviation, where Atta, 33, and Al-Shehhi, 23, first trained in July 2000, showed the yellow INS forms to CNN during an interview Monday. Dekkers said he was surprised to get the forms at such a late date.

The INS had a different reaction.

"I think it is certainly embarrassing that the letters show up at this late date," said INS spokesman Russ Bergeron. "It does serve to illustrate what we have been saying since 1995 -- that the current system for collecting information and tracking foreign students is antiquated, outdated, inaccurate and untimely."

And yet you think the government can competently manage the economy.....

love to see folks simply blaming the 14 year old runaway

Should she have stolen? lied about her identity? of course not

But she was 14, and at any age, those things shouldn't get you deported.

The truly culpable people here are those in the various government bureaus who somehow managed to deport a US citizen. As 13 alludes to -- partly -- it's funny how many people are quick to blame, or absolve, the government when it suits their own particular views on each matter.

oh, and "tex," theft is one of the biggest problems in our country? You're kidding, right?

Theft is the biggest problem in America. Our politicians (right and left) are stealing the future of America.

Deportan por error a joven de Dallas que desapareció en 2010 (VIDEO)

Quote:
Agobiada por la muerte de su abuelo y el divorcio de sus padres, Jakadrien, de 15 años, huyó de su casa en Dallas en noviembre. Desde entonces, su abuela se dedicó a buscarla. El resultado fue agridulce.

Con la ayuda de la Policía de Dallas, Lorene Turner encontró a su nieta, pero en Colombia, a donde fue deportada por error en abril por el Buró de Vigilancia de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE), reporta News 8.

Lo muchachita, quien es afroamericana y no habla español, fue detenida en Houston por un robo y dio a la Policía de esa ciudad un nombre falso. Cuando las autoridades verificaron su identidad, el nombre correspondía al de una indocumentada colombiana que enfrentaba orden de arresto.
