Fuzzy bears!
Just thought I'd post another article about this in which the information is a bit different :
Tex. teen mistakenly deported to Colombia assumed false identity - BlogPost - The Washington Post
According to this the girl maintained her false identity throughout trial and deportation proceedings, and even on social media pages after ending up in Columbia. It also says that ICE supposedly checked her prints and came up with nothing to say she was not who she claimed (I can only assume this would mean her prints were no where in the system).
As with so many stories, this seems like one that will require time and more details to emerge before any kind of reasonable, rational opinion on where blame should lie can be made. Perhaps ICE didn't properly do their jobs, perhaps the girl is at fault for maintaining the false identity, I just don't know. All the self-righteous arguments here based on very scanty information seem pretty premature.
In what world is the girl not at fault for maintaing the false identity throughout the entire proceedings? Did someone force her to maintain that identity? Please, provide a single scenario where she isn't responsible for what happened to her.
Assuming she did that, she has responsibility for what happened. However, if ICE did not actually run her prints (as I believe one of the links suggested) or in some other way were not as diligent as they should have been, they also may share some responsibility.
My point is that the facts of the situation are not entirely clear at this point; until they are, reserving judgment seems the reasonable course.
