Overview
- ICE, which lodged an immigration detainer on April 17, asked Guilford County to notify the agency and transfer her if she is cleared for release.
- She remains in county custody on a probation violation, and ICE says deportation would follow once a Department of Justice immigration judge authorizes transfer.
- ICE says she was convicted of two counts of carnal knowledge of a child and statutory rape, received a 10-year sentence in Staunton, Virginia, and was released early.
- According to ICE, she came to the U.S. as a child and got a green card in 2006 that officials later tied to her mother's fraudulent asylum claim, which the agency says invalidates her status.
- ICE reports an immigration judge ordered her removed in absentia in 2017, she appealed, and relief from removal was granted in 2022 before the sex-offense convictions made her amenable to removal.
