The wayward girl, who was identified only by her first name, Jakadrien, ran away from home in the fall of 2010 as her parents were going through a divorce, her grandmother, Lorene Turner, told WFAA-TV Channel 8.
Just 14 at the time, she drifted south to Houston and used a fake name when she was arrested by Houston police for theft, the news station said.
What happened from there is being investigated by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which challenged aspects of the TV station’s story.
The name Jakadrien had used belonged to a 22-year-old illegal immigrant from Colombia who had warrants out for her arrest, WFAA reported. Immigration officials took Jakadrien’s fingerprints, but didn’t confirm her identity, before shipping the non-Spanish speaker off to South America last April, the station reported.
But an ICE official told the Daily News that Jakadrien maintained the false identity throughout the deportation procedure. The official said Jakadrien fabricated the identity and that there wasn’t another young woman with the fabricated name who was wanted on outstanding warrants.
A search for Jakadrien involving Dallas police and federal officials eventually led to a Colombian address, and U.S. Embassy officials asked local police to pick her up, the station reported. Jakadrien reportedly remains in custody in Colombia, and it’s not clear how her case will be handled.
The Dallas Morning news reported that once she arrived in Colombia, the missing teen was given full citizenship in that country.
An ICE spokesman said in a statement released late Tuesday that the agency is taking “very seriously†the allegation that it deported a U.S. citizen.
“ICE is fully and immediately investigating this matter in order to expeditiously determine the facts of this case,†said the statement by ICE Director of Public Affairs Brian Hale.
Jakadrien’s grandmother said she spent many sleepless nights searching for the missing teen on Facebook — and was shocked to learn she was found in South America.
“God just kept leading me,†Lorene Turner told WFAA. “I wake up in the middle of the night and do whatever God told me to do, and I found her.”
The grandmother said Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials “didn’t do their work.”
“How do you deport a teenager and send her to Colombia without a passport, without anything?” she questioned.
“I feel like she will come home,” the grandmother told WFAA with tears in her eyes. “I just need help and prayer.”
