 Deported runaway to return to U.S.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

  • NEW: Jakadrien Turner, 15, returned to Texas on a flight Friday evening

  • NEW: She was the last person off the plane and was met by police

  • U.S. authorities mistook the girl, who lacked identification, for a Colombian national

(CNN) -- Jakadrien Turner has arrived back in Texas, eight months after she was mistakenly deported to Colombia, the pilot and a flight attendant on a Dallas-bound flight told CNN.

The 15-year-old girl was the last person off the plane Friday evening, according to CNN's Jason Morris, who was on the flight. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport police officers escorted her off the aircraft.

Turner wound up being deported to Colombia after U.S. authorities last year mistook the girl, an apparent teenage runaway who lacked identification, for a Colombian national.

The family's attorney, Ray Jackson, told CNN on Friday the family believes the girl's civil rights were violated when authorities allowed her to be deported. He said that lawsuits against the agencies who dealt with her case are in the works, he said.
