Convicted drug dealer cries as she’s arrested by ICE after re-entering US

Virginia Basora-Gonzalez, a 36-year-old Dominican drug dealer who had previously been deported for trafficking fentanyl, was captured in an emotional arrest in Philadelphia. The arrest took place last Wednesday, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents apprehending her while she was illegally back in the US. A federal warrant for her arrest was issued by a US magistrate judge on the same day that a notice of intent to reinstate a final removal order against her was scheduled to be served.

Basora-Gonzalez, visibly distraught, was seen in tears as she was led away in handcuffs. ICE shared photos of the arrest, showcasing the convicted drug dealer’s emotional state at the time of her apprehension. She will remain in federal custody as she faces charges for re-entry after deportation.

The Dominican national had been living in the US illegally when she was first arrested by the Drug Enforcement Administration in Pennsylvania in June 2019. The charges against her included possession of 40 grams or more of fentanyl and aiding and abetting. Following her guilty plea, Basora-Gonzalez was sentenced to 12 months and one day of confinement, along with four years of supervised release. However, she was deported to the Dominican Republic by ICE in October 2020 before serving her full sentence.

Despite being deported, Basora-Gonzalez illegally re-entered the US at a later date. Her return to the country was reported by a confidential source to ICE on March 7, 2025. Subsequently, she was apprehended outside her workplace, La Tierra Del Caribe Restaurant in North Philadelphia, where she was employed as a cook.

Her court-appointed attorney argued against her detention before trial, stating that being charged with illegal re-entry did not make her a flight risk. However, the government emphasized the need for pretrial detention due to her previous conviction for drug trafficking.

In conclusion, the emotional arrest of Virginia Basora-Gonzalez highlights the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies to uphold immigration laws and protect communities from individuals engaged in serious illegal activities. The case serves as a reminder of the consequences faced by those who choose to violate the law and re-enter the country after being deported.
