who was on the deport list. With no investigation (even does this 16 yo look like she's in her 20s?), they shipped her off to a South American country where she knew no one, did not speak the language...it took her a year to get back after her grandmother saw a post from her on Facebook. She'd worked as a maid and was pregnant.
