DNA tests show Mexican girl forcibly sent to US is not daughter of Texas woman who claimed her

MEXICO CITY – A 14-year-old Mexican girl seized by federal police and sent to a woman in Houston is being returned home after DNA tests showed she is not the woman's daughter.

Last week's removal of a screaming Alondra Luna from her middle school last week provoked an outcry from her family, who said authorities ignored proof of her identity. Federal police said they were acting on a judge's orders to send the girl to Dorotea Garcia, who says the girl had been illegally taken to Mexico by her father years ago.

Mexico's foreign ministry said Wednesday that DNA tests conducted at the Mexican Consul's office in Houston proved Garcia is not the girl's mother.
