A Dominican drug dealer who was previously deported before Fentanyl was seen in tears while she was arrested while she was illegal in the US.
Virginia Basora-Gonzalez, 36, sobbed while agents arrested her in Philadelphia last Wednesday, Immigration and Customs enforcement (ICE) said.
An American magistrate judge issued a federal order for her arrest on the same day that a notification of intention to repair a definitive disposal order against it had to be served.
She will remain in federal detention pending charges for re -entry after deportation, the FBI said.
Photos shared by ICE show the convicted drug dealer who cries while she is led away in cuffs.
“The fear of Virginia Basora-Gonzalez shows our dedication to protecting our communities against criminal aliens that undergo serious illegal activities that pose a threat to public safety,” said ICE enforcement and removal activities Philadelphia acting field office Brian McShane.
“This successful joint operation is an example of the cooperation efforts of federal law enforcement agencies to force the immigration laws of our nation and to remove dangerous individuals from our streets.”
The tear -out drug dealer lived illegally in the US when the Drug Enforcement Administration arrested it for the first time in Pennsylvania for possessing 40 grams or more of Fentanyl and helping and encouraging in June 2019.
She argued guilty of the charges and was sentenced to 12 months, a day of imprisonment and four years of guided release, but was deported in October 2020 by Ice to her home country, the Dominican Republic before she could figure out her sentence.
However, the convicted Opioid dealer has again illegally reintroduced the US on an unknown date.
ICE discovered that she was back in the US after a confidential source reported her return on March 7, 2025, according to one sworn explanation obtained by the Daily Mail.
Agents took Basora-Gonzalez outside of her job in La Tierra del Caribe Restaurant in North Philadelphia, where she reportedly had worked as a cook.
Law enforcement confirmed its identity using the FBI fingerprint database, according to the statement.
Her lawyer appointed by the court said that she should not be held before her trial, and said that accused of illegal re-entry did not make her escape risk.
The government responded by “confirming the conclusion that pretrial detention is required” about its earlier conviction.
