(CNN) — A Dallas teen mistakenly deported to Colombia is set to return to the United States Friday, as her family plans to file lawsuits against the agencies involved in her removal from the country, their attorney said.
Jakadrien Turner, 15, wound up being deported to Colombia after U.S. authorities mistook the girl, who lacked identification, for a Colombian national.
“It’s a giant step. I’m relieved, but I won’t be completely relieved until I get her in my arms again,” her mother, Johnisa Turner, said. “A weight has definitely been lifted.”
She has not yet talked with her daughter, who ran away from home in 2010, but said she is relieved to know she is located.
“I want her to come home. She belongs here,” Turner said.
Colombia to hand over deported teen 
U.S. teen mistakenly deported to ColombiaThe family’s attorney, Ray Jackson, told CNN Friday they believe the girl’s civil rights were violated when authorities allowed her to be deported.
“Somewhere the ball was dropped,” he said.
Lawsuits against the agencies who dealt with her case are in the works, he said.
Family members are thrilled Jakadrien will be returning home.
Grandmother Lorene Turner said U.S. Embassy officials called with the news that her granddaughter would be turned over to U.S. officials.
“When I heard those words, I didn’t hear nothing else. I flipped out. I can’t wait,” she said.
But her family was still demanding to know why immigration authorities deported the teen — a U.S. citizen with no knowledge of Spanish — and why they simply took her at her word when she gave them a fake name.
The family has searched for the teenager since she ran away in the fall of 2010. Her grandmother scoured Facebook, looking for her friends’ pages for any information.
“There’s no words,” her mother said. “It hasn’t been easy at all.”
The Colombian Institute for Family Welfare confirmed Thursday that Turner is in its custody, is pregnant and entered the country as an adult. The institute said Colombian authorities learned about the case a month ago.
After she went missing, the family tracked her to Houston, where she worked at a DJ club under a different name. They tried to get help from authorities there, to no avail.
They later learned she was in Colombia, partying and smoking marijuana, and a detective told them was pregnant.
How she got to Colombia is a mystery to the family. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency maintains she was arrested in Houston for theft and told them she was an adult from Colombia.
The agency says authorities believed her story because she maintained her false identity throughout the process. They handed her over to an immigration judge, who ordered her removed from the country.
“At no time during these criminal proceedings was her identity determined to be false,” the agency says.
It says criminal database searches and biometric verification revealed no information to invalidate her claims.
Jackson says it doesn’t make sense, explaining that the immigration agency took her fingerprints but failed to match them to the name she gave.
The agency says it is taking the allegations very seriously and is “fully and immediately investigating the matter in order to expeditiously determine the facts of the case.”
Pictures of the teen in Colombia showed her sitting on men’s laps smoking marijuana, her grandmother said. But she appeared to be reaching out for help, she said, listing on Facebook the names of everyone at parties, perhaps so she could be traced.
Jackson says he doesn’t believe she was trying to fake her way out of the country by using the false name throughout the process.
“I don’t buy that she had the wherewithal to be able to bamboozle the government,” Jackson says. “You know, kids are scared when they get around authorities. … To think that you could bamboozle them to create a new identity, it just doesn’t make sense.”
Colombia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thursday that Turner first arrived in Bogota after she was deported on May 23.
The ministry said it was investigating what sort of verification its consulate in Texas requested before giving the girl an expedited provisional passport as part of the deportation proceedings, and how she received work authorization for training at a call center as part of the government’s “Welcome Home” program.
Attorneys with the program made a sworn declaration in front of a notary with “inexact information” that allowed her to receive work papers, the foreign ministry said.
“Those lawyers are no longer providing services to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,” the statement said.
The teen was placed in a protection program by the Colombian Institute for Family Welfare on December 1 after officials learned of her situation, the foreign ministry said.

If you could invent a new machine for use in schools, what would it be? describe it’s function, size, price, etc. Give as many details as you can. Two paragraph minimum
DUE BY 12/8
if i could invent a machine for school it would be a food and drinking machine for healthy eating. why i choose this is because there are a lot of people unhealthy and its not good because they can get really sick. Their are a lot of things like obesity,diabetes,heart disease,and etc.we dont want a lot of people dying.
in the machine their would be drinks like water vitamin water, propel, Gatorade’s,apple juice orange juice and etc. in the food their would be bananas,apple,oranges, some type of chips that’s healthy. when want to have healthy people. just because you skinny don’t mean your healthy and just because your thick don’t mean your not healthy.
another thing is putting paper,pencils,pens and books. some people don’t have the time to go to the store to get it.
