So says the Houston Police Department and ICE in this (paywalled) article from Selwyn Crawford at the DMN. Both agencies, it seems, had a hand in deporting the 15-year-old Oak Cliff girl to Colombia. And it kind of sounds a little like the authorities are blaming her. Also, it appears she’s pregnant. This has been a strange story from the start, and there are still so many questions. This story says she didn’t speak Spanish at all when she ran away in late 2010, but she had a conversation with officials in Colombia? If it wasn’t in Spanish, did she give a reason? Why wouldn’t she tell anyone she wasn’t Colombian? Can you really become a citizen of Colombia just by showing up there?

Genius.
She must have been running away from that albatross of a name she’s got.
