Family Dept: Jakadrien Lorece Turner's family has questioned why U.S. officials didn't do more to verify her identity and say the 15-year-old is not fluent in Spanish and had no ties to Colombia. While many facts of the case remain unclear, U.S. and Colombian officials have pointed fingers over who is responsible, according to CTV. "She's happy to be home," the family's attorney, Ray Jackson, said, adding that the family would not be issuing any statements Friday night and dALLAS A Texas teenager who was deported to Colombia after claiming to be an illegal immigrant was returned to the United States and remains at the centre of an international mystery over how a minor could be sent to a country where she is not a citizen. Jakadrien arrived in Dallas on Friday evening and was reunited with her family. She was flanked by her mother, grandmother and law enforcement when she emerged from the international gate at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport shortly before 10 p.m.
