DHS said Anna Sorokin could be removed from the U.S. soon, with a spokesperson accusing her of making "a mockery" of immigration law while her appeal of removal remains pending.
Sorokin is still living in New York under GPS monitoring after overstaying a tourist visa and, authorities say, remaining in the country following felony theft-related convictions.
Her continued public presence has undercut earlier deportation expectations: she posted from New York over Memorial Day weekend and has appeared at fashion events while wearing the ankle monitor.
The 35-year-old, who gained wider notoriety through Netflix's "Inventing Anna," was convicted after posing as a German heiress tied to a claimed $67 million fortune.
Does Anna Sorokin's case expose how celebrity can challenge the American immigration and justice systems?
If deported to Germany, could the infamous 'Anna Delvey' brand be as successful as it was in America?
Why is a convicted con artist facing deportation still a celebrated figure in New York's high society?
