ICE lines up to boot illegal immigrant child sex predator after bogus asylum claim, early prison release
Federal authorities lodged an immigration detainer against Rebeca Fratila-Ilies with Guilford County on April 17
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Immigration and Customs Enforcement wants police in North Carolina to turn over an illegal immigrant from Romania who has been convicted of child sex crimes and faces deportation after a phony asylum case and early prison release.
Rebeca Fratila-Ilies is facing possible deportation after ICE said she was convicted of two counts of carnal knowledge of a child and statutory rape for abusing a middle-school boy.
She was serving a 10-year sentence inside a Staunton, Virginia prison up until her early release, ICE said.

Fratila-Ilies was arrested in North Carolina on March 12, 2025, for a probation violation, according to ICE, and the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office notified ICE Charlotte that it had her in custody.
"ICE lodged an immigration detainer against Fratila-Ilies with Guilford County April 17, asking them not to release this child predator back into the community," ICE Director Todd M. Lyons said in a statement. "Fratila-Ilies is a lawful permanent resident, but she’s been convicted of sex crimes against a child, which means she’s amenable to removal. She’s currently in removal proceedings and ICE is standing by to deport her upon a Department of Justice immigration judge’s order."

An immigration judge ordered her to be deported back in 2017 after she was a no-show at her immigration hearing. She ultimately appealed, and was granted relief five years later.
