A powerful image posted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tells the whole story: Virginia Basora-Gonzalez, 36, breaking down in tears after her arrest. But Americans aren’t shedding any tears for her. The Dominican national was caught in a joint operation between ICE, the U.S. Marshals Service, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) after re-entering the country illegally. Her charges? Illegally crossing the border and trafficking deadly fentanyl—a poison that has devastated American communities.

The arrest, which took place in Philadelphia, quickly went viral on social media, with thousands of users celebrating law enforcement’s success. Many pointed out the tragic irony: Basora-Gonzalez weeping over her own fate, while countless American families have suffered far greater heartbreak, mourning loved ones lost to the drug crisis fueled by criminals like her.

One social media user summed it up bluntly: “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 confirmed the arrest in a statement, explaining that Basora-Gonzalez had already been deported once before. “ICE issued Basora-Gonzalez a notice of intent to reinstate final order of removal on 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,” the statement read. “She will remain in federal custody pending charges for reentry after deportation in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.”

This means Basora-Gonzalez was already booted from the country once, only to illegally sneak back in and continue her criminal activities. It’s a textbook example of why border security and immigration enforcement are crucial. How many more drug dealers, gang members, and criminals have done the same—slipping past Biden’s open border policies?

With President Trump back in office, ICE has ramped up its enforcement, and the agency isn’t just taking action—it’s making sure the American people know about it. Since Trump’s return to the White House, ICE has significantly increased public updates on its arrests and operations. And the results speak for themselves.

The Washington, D.C., field office, which covers areas like Baltimore and Northern Virginia—hotbeds of crime fueled by illegal immigration—recently carried out a massive operation targeting some of the most dangerous offenders. Their statement made it clear: America is safer today because of their efforts.

“Our communities in Virginia are safer today because our law enforcement officers stood between them and the danger. During this enforcement operation, ICE and our law enforcement partners targeted the most dangerous alien offenders in some of the most gang-infested neighborhoods in Northern Virginia, and this resulted in 214 arrests.”

Over 200 criminals taken off the streets in just one operation. That’s the kind of law and order the American people deserve—and that’s what happens when a president actually enforces the law instead of making excuses for illegal aliens.

Basora-Gonzalez’s arrest is just the beginning. With ICE cracking down and federal agencies working together, America is on track to reclaim its streets from those who have exploited our broken immigration system for far too long.
