The Romanian lawful permanent resident is jailed in North Carolina after a March 2025 probation-violation arrest, following convictions for two child sex offences and a 10-year Virginia sentence.
ICE said it filed a detainer with Guilford County on 17 April and is awaiting a Justice Department immigration judge's order to remove her.
The agency said her 2006 green card stemmed from her mother's fraudulent asylum claim; a 2017 deportation order was later appealed and relief granted in 2022.
