45. But they had the resources to KNOW she wasn't a 22 year old Colombian immigrant.

They had the Colombian woman's fingerprints. Before they deported anyone they should have made even the most basic cursory check to ensure this was the right person. The story even says they didn't wait for any fingerprint matches to come back before they put her on the plane.

What if the person they were deporting actually shared the same legal name as someone? Say I was picked up and held by ICE because my name is the same as another wanted person (I'm Irish). You'd think they would check to make sure my fingerprints matched the criminal illegal person before they spent the money to actually send me back.

It just makes sense.

But they didn't even follow that simple protocol here with this teen. That does NOT make sense.

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
