On Wednesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested an illegal immigrant with known drug tracking convictions, in Philadelphia. Needless to say, she was NOT happy about it.
On Thursday, ICE announced that 36-year-old Virginia Basora-Gonzalez from the Dominican Republic was apprehended by a joint task force made of ICE, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
The photos we got out of the OP are absolutely PRICELESS. Images have gone viral on social media, showing the moment authorities caught the woman, who was sobbing over being caught.

LOL! Homegirl looks like she just ate the most sour warhead of her life.
Social media users had no sympathy for her tears. One person replied, “Now talk about all the families that have wept and sobbed over the loved ones they’ve lost to overdoses from the drugs that she sold. Good riddance.”

ICE revealed that Basora-Gonzalez’s prior convictions included “attempted possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and aiding and abetting. She was previously removed from the U.S. and reentered the country without admission by an immigration official.”
Breitbart reports:
In June 2019, she was charged with attempted possession with intent to distribute 40 grams or more of fentanyl and aiding and abetting. In March 2020, she pleaded guilty to the charges against her and was sentenced to just over 12 months confinement and four years of supervised release, ICE said.
The agency also noted that in October 2020, U.S. officials removed her to the Dominican Republic.
“ICE issued Basora-Gonzalez a notice of intent to reinstate final order of removal March 12 and on the same day obtained a federal arrest warrant and criminal complaint from a U.S. magistrate judge and turned her over to the U.S. Marshals Service. She will remain in federal custody pending charges for reentry after deportation in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania,” the agency added.
Good riddance!
