Deported Missing Black Girl Rerturns Home

Jan 06, 2012 3 Comments by

I just got word via  WFAA.com that 15-year-old Jakadrien Turner is on her way home. In case you’re not familiar with her story, just know that I stand by my words: she should have never been deported; plain and simple. I’m just glad that they were able to quickly work out her return to Dallas.

It would have been a huge embarassment if we had to send in Jessuie Jackson to play negotiator as he has done many times before. Hopefully there aren’t anymore deported Black kids in Columbia.

Jakadrien Turner was turned over to U.S. embassy officials this morning.

U.S. Embassy officials have confirmed that Jakadrien Turner is on a plane from Colombia to the United States. 

On Thursday the. U.S. Embassy gave Colombian officials all the documents they wanted to prove Turner is an American citizen.

Having those documents in hand they agreed to turn her over this morning.  She is being escorted now to Dallas.

[...] Jakadrien Turner’s story started when she ran away from her Oak Cliff home a year and a half ago.

She ended up in Houston and was arrested for shoplifting.

Jakadrien lied and said she was from Colombia and no one thoroughly checked out her story, so the 15-year-old was deported last April.

Her determined grandmother found her in South America and alerted police.

Jakadrian had been working in a call center in Colombia and even posted that job on her Facebook page.

But the drama is ending because Jakadrien has a grandmother who was determined to find her.

Of course what strikes me as odd, is that this non-Spanish speaking 15-year-old was able to find work in a Columbian call center. There’s some dramatic irony to this fact that she was able to. But I’ll leave that alone, and welcome her back to the US. I only in hope that in reuniting with her relatives, they can work things out, and she doesn’t feel the need to run away again. At any rate, thanks to her, we now know just where Black people can go to find jobs in this shitty economy.

If the gov’t can’t stop drugs coming in from Columbia, should we be surprised they let this happen?

  • Weird

    When I first read the story I thought it was some kind of forced harsh deportation…but this seems weird on more than one level. What was going on in her home that she ran away in the first place, then lied about her origins then was deported. How did she slip through the cracks, she’s not an adult but a child. I don’t understand how they just sent her to another country being a minor , did she lie and say she had relatives there too? Was she trying not to be found…how the hell did she get a job ? So much weirdness to this story fails all around

Was Obama’s Election 2012 Win Really a Landslide?

The election is over. President Obama has won a second term, much to the consternation of the political and religious right. And in some circles, his win is being called a landslide. At what point does a win become a landslide? Slightly more than two-thirds? And even if this could be considered as such, it [...]
