Rebecca Fratila-Ilies, a Romanian immigrant, is now wanted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after being arrested for violating her probation. She was previously convicted in December 2022 on two counts of carnal knowledge of a child and statutory rape, leading to a decade-long prison sentence in Virginia. After being released early, she moved to North Carolina, where she was detained for a probation violation on March 25, 2025. ICE Director Todd Lyons stated that her conviction for sex crimes against a child makes her eligible for deportation. Fratila-Ilies, who arrived in the U.S. as a child and received a green card in 2006, had previously faced deportation orders due to her mother's fraudulent asylum claim. Although she won relief from removal in 2022, her recent legal troubles have reopened the possibility of deportation, and she remains in custody as her case proceeds.
