Family demands answers after Texas teen mistakenly deported to Colombia

U.S. teen mistakenly deported to Colombia

STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Colombian authorities confirm she's in their custody and is pregnant
The family tracked the teenage runaway through Facebook pages
She is a U.S. citizen but gave authorities a fake name
Her family had been looking for her since the fall of 2010


(CNN) -- A Dallas teenager who ran away from home more than a year ago somehow wound up deported to Colombia after U.S. authorities mistook the girl, who lacked identification, for a Colombian national.

Now her family is demanding to know why immigration authorities deported the now-15-year-old teen -- a U.S. citizen with no knowledge of Spanish -- and why they simply took her at her word when she gave them a fake name.

The family of Jakadrien Turner had been searching for her since she ran away in the fall of 2010. Her grandmother scoured Facebook looking for the girl, viewing Jakadrien's friends' pages for any information.

"There's no words," her mother, Johnisa Turner, told CNN of the ordeal. "It hasn't been easy at all."

The Colombian Institute for Family Welfare confirmed Thursday that Turner is in its custody, is pregnant, and entered the country as an adult. The institute said Colombian authorities learned about the case a month ago and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working on her return to the United States.

The U.S. State Department is also aware of the case, spokesman Ken Chavez said.

After Jakadrien went missing, the family managed to track Jakadrien to Houston, where she worked at a DJ club under a different name. They tried to get help from authorities there, to no avail.

Then, to the family's surprise, they learned their teenage daughter was in Colombia, partying with men and smoking marijuana. They later learned from a detective that Jakadrien is pregnant.

How Jakadrien got to Colombia is a mystery to the family. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency maintains she was arrested in Houston for theft and told them she was an adult from Colombia.

The agency says authorities believed her story because she maintained her false identity throughout the process. They handed her over to an immigration judge, who ordered her removed from the country.

"At no time during these criminal proceedings was her identity determined to be false," the agency says.

It says criminal database searches and biometric verification revealed no information to invalidate Jakadrien's claims.

The family's attorney, Ray Jackson, says it doesn't make sense.

"They dropped the ball," he said.

He says the immigration agency took Jakadrien's fingerprints but failed to match them to the name she gave. The name matched a woman wanted by Interpol, Jackson says, so they "shipped her on through."

The agency says it is taking the allegations very seriously and is "fully and immediately investigating the matter in order to expeditiously determine the facts of the case."

Jakadrien had run away once before, two weeks earlier, her mother said, and Jakadrien told her the family didn't give her enough freedom. Her good grades at school had dropped off, something Turner blamed on the normal problems of teenagers. In addition, Jakadrien's grandfather, her mother's father, had recently died.

Turner said she contacted Dallas police, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and Dallas transportation authorities. Nothing ever came of it, she said.

Grandmother Lorene Turner said she then started following Jakadrien's best friend on Facebook. She eventually tracked her granddaughter to Houston, where she worked at a club under the name Tika Cortez. Johnisa Turner said she saw Jakadrien's face on the marquee on her birthday.

"Oh my god," the mother said when she saw it. "Is this really happening? Is that my child?"

A picture on Cortez's Facebook page further confirmed for the family that the girl with the different name was their daughter. The picture had been taken of Jakadrien with her grandmother. Though her grandmother had been cut out of the picture, her hair still showed on the edge.

Her mother said she told Dallas authorities what she had found.

Then, Jakadrien's Facebook page suddenly said she was in Colombia. The family later learned she had been arrested in Houston for shoplifting, but they say they had no idea how she wound up in the South American country after the arrest.

Jakadrien later was taken to the U.S. consulate, and later moved to the government-run Colombian Institute for Family Welfare. The institute said Thursday it has custody of Jadadrien and that authorities are working on her return home.

The U.S. embassy provided the Colombian Foreign Ministry with documentation to confirm she is an American and requested her return to the United States, according to an official at the Foreign Ministry who is not authorized to speak to the media.

The family's concerns grew when the detective told them that Jakadrien is pregnant, her mother said.

Johnisa Turner said she believes her daughter was coerced along the way, with someone promising her something that led her to maintain a fake story about who she is.

Jackson says he believes something more sinister is going on.

"There has to be something behind this 15-year-old girl ending up in Colombia, besides the fact that ICE dropped the ball," he said. "Of all the nicknames ... to pick one that's of Latino descent, for that to be a name that sticks and gets you deported, that doesn't make sense."

Pictures of Jakadrien in Colombia showed her sitting on men's laps smoking marijuana, her grandmother said. But Jakadrien, she said, seemed to be reaching out for help, listing on Facebook the names of everyone at parties perhaps so she could be traced.

Jackson says he doesn't believe Jakadrien was trying to fake her way out of the country by using the false name throughout the process.

"I don't buy that she had the wherewithal to be able to bamboozle the government," Jackson says. "You know, kids are scared when they get around authorities. ... To think that you could bamboozle them to create a new identity, it just doesn't make sense."

Jorge Asfrubal Farcia Romero and Luis Carlos Velez contributed to this report for CNN.

******************************************************************

Wolud ICE have broken their necks to send a White child minor to a foreign country without turning over every stone to establish her identity?

I seriously doubt it.

They would not have committed such a hateful act if the child had been White.

What is so sickening is that ICE sent this child out of the country as a felon and an undocumented alien, even after doing fingerprints, which they obviously lost, or threw away, because they didn't give a damn, by their actions. They were also lazy in their sloppiness in not checking out any story she may have given them on family, nor did they see that she was a 15-year-old and not a 22-year-old. She gave them a fake name, and ICE was too incompetent to verify and background check further on the name she gave them? What, ICE has no access to any international law enforcement organizations to throughly find concrete evidence on the name this child gave them? Did they even sit and listen to what this child was saying to them and check for any holes in whatever story she gave them?

Not to mention, they could not have conversed with this child in Spanish. If she is not bilingual, there is no way she could have spoken Spanish if an interpreter was put in the room with her to establish her supposed fluency in Spanish. And who the hell ever heard of a child being sent, by herself, back to her so-called native country? Is there not a requirement that an adult in the so-called native country to be waiting to pick up the child upon arrival? What the hell is up with sending a child, period, out of the country, by themselves? No, just deport her out of the country of her birth as if she is some piece of throw-away trash.

To deport this child from her home country is beyond sickening. No telling what else has happened to this child since her landing in Columbia since April, 2011.

Now she is pregnant, and any men she has come into contact with have had access to her, thereby raping and impregnating her. She is after all a 15-year-old child.

The fact that was detained and deported to Columbia as if she is some criminal shows the vicious contempt for black life.

The ICE tongs and the immigration judge that sent this child to the hell she is in should be prosecuted for child endangerment, child abuse, reckless endangerment, abuse of her Fourth Amendment rights, and a hate crime.

All of the above fits the actions of the dictatorial regime known as ICE.

Hello Ms. Clark,

It looks to me that all you do is to look for issues of wrongful doings to Black Americans just to whine and complain about because you love whining and complaining.

Have I not said to you before that our only permanent solution is that we must desire to become a sovereign people on the best fertile and reasonable portion of this continent that we could worship God, pursue life, liberty, happiness and prosperity in our own way?

Did I not say that how God delivered or helped the children of Israel 4000 years ago in the days of Moses God must deliver Black Americans out of bondage and subjugation in White America the same way and our divine delivery has started?

The time is soon coming that your whining and complaining will stop.

Now, stop whining and complaining and let's talk about our imminent sovereignty, okay.

Nobody, even Dr. King can bring about our sovereignty. Our sovereignty will come through me since I am Black America's first genuine prophet.

In other words, if we had authority over ourselves this teenage Black American girl would not have been deported, but if the teenage girl was White as you said it would not have happened. Consequentially, if you are intelligent about anything you would see that I am right when I say that our only permanent solution is that we must desire to become a sovereign people having a country of our own right here on this continen

Hey Dianne,

I posted about this to Bia as well when I heard about it. I really think its a travesty of justice for the Obama Administration and Janet Napolito's Homeland Security Office. What threat did this young girl pose?

Hello to All,

You all are really going strong at whining and complaining.

Ms. Clark, you said that if it was a White girl none of this would have happened. Okay, since it was a Black girl somehow charges up the whining and complaining rather than desiring a permanent solution for Black Americans, am I right.

Have we not been in bondage and slavery long enough? Is not our desire become a sovereign people in a country of our own the way to go?

Why don't you forget about the Obama administration?

I agree with the family's attorney Ray Jackson...this story does not add up at all. It's very clear this teen has some unresolved family issues.

I have a keen eye for news stories like these, and one thing that stands out in this article is that there is no mention of, or commentary from, this teen's father concerning her bizarre behavior. Does her father play an active role in her life? This is a question that needs to be asked. Maybe this teen's behavior has less to do with her "lack of freedom" and more to do with the absence of a father figure in the home. Or she could just have an undiagnosed mental illness. Whatever the cause of this teen's behavior, she will require YEARS of therapy to help her recover from the damage that has already been done (both TO her and BY her).

As far as the immigration workers are concerned, the first thing they need to learn from this story is the importance of not being stupid enough to believe everything they are told, but rather to examine, question and test popular beliefs.

I hear what you're saying Mom, I know what I said above may come off as a surprise but we don't often times look at stories like these from all directions. There is more to this teen girl's story that needs to be told.

I don't believe that her behavior (running away) was due to her lack of freedom only. It could be a variety of factors that are more deeper than that. And I'm not blaming this child for the harm done to her nor am I condoning it, but when one really looks at the events that took place prior to this teen being shipped overseas, it's clear that she suffers from some sort of mental illness.

First off, where did she obtain the name 'Tika Cortez' from and what relationship (if any) does she have with this person? And why did this teen remove her grandmother's face from her Facebook photo? Last but not least, why would she lie about being an illegal immigrant from Columbia?

Diane, "I"understand what it is you say, but for me, If anyone of these men, were not coming in the name of their religions against each other and held them selves responsible for this they would not feel they have to use us a a cover for their own hate, rear and ignorance about anyone. example, the Native-Americans are not Black and our president is only half Black and they sure don't hate the gays because they are Black!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And, romney nor Huntsman ae Black nor female!!!!

EVER HEARD THE KKK CALLED TERRORIST OR AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THOSE WHO TRAVEL WITH THEIR BIBLE???? I TIS NOT SO MUCH SKIN COLOR BUT PURE DIFFERENT IS DEFFICIENT AND THE SOONER WE FACE UP TO THIS THE BETTER IT WILL BE FOR ALL OF MANKIND, IF WE DON'T DISTROY THIS WHOLE PLANET OVER GREED AND DISCRIMINATION AND YES ALL IN TEH NAME OF G-O-D!

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE THESE POLITICIANS ARE TALKING ABOUT WHEN THEY SPEAK OF GOD HAS SENT THEM TO SAVE AMERICA FROM OUR PRESIDENT?!? WHY DID WE BOMB JAPAN AND NOT LOOK BACK OR EVEN TRY TOHELP THOSE IN AMERICA STILL SUFFERING FROM THOSE BOMBS BEING TESTED ON AMERICAN MILITARY FIRST...IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TAUGHT US THAT OUR FIRST PRIORITY IS TO BLAME SKIN COLOR AND NOT FACTS BECAUSE WE NEVER EVEN GET AROUND TO ITNOW DO WE????

WE HAVE GOT TO LEARN TO NOT BE BLINDED BY THOSE BLINDERS THE POWERS KEEP PUTTIN GON US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EXAMPLE, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A CHILD...SOWHY AE WE NOT ALKING ABOUT A CHILD, BUT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A BLACK TEEN IN BARS WITH GROWN MEN...HELL HERE COMES NEXT SHE HAD NO FATHER IN THE HOME, AM I RIGHT DIANNE OR AM I WRONG????????!!!!!!!!!!!?...WE KNOW WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS SO WHY AREN'T WE...WE ARE FEEDING INTO THIS CHILD IS IN NO NEED OF HELP OR HELL SHE ISN'T EVEN MISSING...NOT SHE IS NOT IN THE HOME WITH HER MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER NOW ARE WE OR DID I MISS ALL OF THIS???????????

Yes it does take a village to raise a chjild and this is my whole point...remember my saying what would be coming next about no father in teh home did come true. Now tis is child abuse as I look at it, because so many children falsely believe it is their fault when a marriage breaks up.

My whole intrest was in the welfare of the child not the adults in this, but the child and for me it does not involve skin color just the innocent child unconditionally. Skin color / placing blame too often justifies a wrong being right and vice versa so I speak of the laws that must be equal across the board, period and I know on this we can agree.Lov ya and great post.(smile)

...I am still upset over when has anyone in our community or out side of it made the statement aboutall of those serial mass schoolings masacure called "teen bezarr behavior" or because maybe we have been brainwashed into thinking that only blacks have one parent homes along with every thing else...

here we go out of our way to try and blame this c-h-i-l-d for the harm done to her...how many of us as adults who travel to an unnkonw city to say visit family and friends feeluncomfortable being in a new enviornment and here a child forced into an brand newe country, eating foods she is not use to and not beingable to speak the languae of ......oh and here we are placint this blame on her because she has a mother and father who just got a divorce????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@SIEBRA, IT IS BECAUSE WHAT YOU SAY IS SO CORRECT AND one of the reasons I just osted my latest BIA hisotry lesson for today...but I would like to ask you this one every day commonse question about how this child was able to lear these things...

Siebra, sis you know that you can go on facebook and learn how to make a nuclear weapon or to tap into the whitehouse or the pentagon...but all one has to do to find out why we do not deserve EQUALITY is to look at comments like you ae making???

so why isit we reject it when these politicians say the same thing about this black president's mother being single, because god knows she was hated by the white race for accepting us as human beings?!? (nup / smile as "I" am JUST THINKING AS MO WOULD SAY> (SMILE)
