Basora-Gonzalez was previously deported for trafficking fentanyl — a deadly drug that kills more than 250,000 Americans a year.
The White House shared the news on X.

From The New York Post:
A US magistrate judge issued a federal warrant for her arrest on the same day a notice of intent to reinstate a final removal order against her was to be served.
She will remain in federal custody pending charges for re-entry after deportation, the feds said.
Photos shared by ICE show the convicted drug dealer crying as she’s being led away in cuffs.
“The apprehension of Virginia Basora-Gonzalez demonstrates our commitment to protecting our communities from criminal aliens who engage in serious illegal activities that pose a threat to public safety,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Philadelphia acting Field Office Director Brian McShane.
“This successful joint operation exemplifies the collaborative efforts of federal law enforcement agencies to enforce our nation’s immigration laws and remove dangerous individuals from our streets.”
The teary-eyed drug dealer was living illegally in the US when the Drug Enforcement Administration first arrested her in Pennsylvania for possessing 40 grams or more of fentanyl and aiding and abetting in June 2019.
