Jakadrien Turner: from what I've been able to piece together... correct me if I'm wrong [View all]

The story of Jakadrien Turner, the teenager who got arrested, deported to Colombia and is now back in the U.S., seems to thinly veil a few really big issues. I'll get into them later but FIRST I need to verify that what I understand of this story, is actually true:

Jakadrien Turner ran away from home. She later got busted committing a crime. While in custody she claimed to be someone of a different name. This, instead of giving her real name. At no time is it shown that she asked for her parents to be involved.

Jakadrien Turner got deported to Colombia. She was welcomed under some kind of new or returning citizen program. She was promptly given a job at a call center.

She was exposed by a Facebook post, and returned to the U.S.

Is this correct?

Just give up the "I know everything" claims muriel_volestrangler Jan 2012 #32
Possibly because she was a pissed off/scared teenager SoCalDem Jan 2012 #26

According to ICE, the false name was a fabrication pinboy3niner Jan 2012 #44
I hope the Republicans don't use that as a reason to require a nat'l picture ID. nt Honeycombe8 Jan 2012 #54
