Pushing Them Out the Door

Jakadrien Turner, 14, ran away from home two years ago, and her family has been looking for her ever since. They finally found that she had arrested in Houston for theft. Unfortunately, the fake name she gave police was shared with an illegal immigrant, so they turned her over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which deported her to Colombia. The Colombian government now has the girl, who doesn't speak Spanish, in a detention center and refuses to release her.
