The United States Department of Homeland Security has placed Ghanaian musician Mona Faiz Montrage, known as Hajia4Reall, on its notorious list of dangerous criminal aliens following her romance fraud conviction. The official publication features 355 West African immigrants who face active deportation or have already been sent back home after committing various offenses across American states.
Details of the Publication
The list, released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), includes names, photographs, and details of crimes committed. About 30 of those listed are Ghanaians. Hajia4Reall appears on the list for fraud committed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which led to her deportation to Ghana. The DHS stated that the purpose of the publication is to highlight individuals considered the most dangerous among criminal aliens arrested by ICE.
Broader Immigration Enforcement
The department explained that the release of the list is part of a broader immigration enforcement drive under President Donald Trump's administration, which prioritizes mass deportations starting with those considered most dangerous. The DHS notice emphasized that the hardworking men and women of DHS and ICE are fulfilling President Trump's promise and carrying out mass deportations, beginning with the worst offenders.
Hajia4Reall's inclusion on the list comes after a long-running fraud case that ended with her conviction in the United States. According to ICE records, she was detained and served her sentence at the Federal Detention Centre in Philadelphia before being deported to Ghana. Her conviction was linked to a romance fraud scheme that targeted victims for financial gain.
The latest development places her among those officially marked by U.S. authorities as part of the 'Worst of the Worst' criminal aliens list. The DHS publication features 355 West African immigrants who have either been deported or are currently facing deportation proceedings. Offenses range from shoplifting and fraud to drug possession, domestic violence, weapons charges, and child cruelty.
Hajia4Reall, a popular female entertainer, previously completed her prison term at a federal detention centre in Philadelphia before her eventual deportation back to her home country of Ghana. Her case highlights the stringent measures taken by U.S. authorities against criminal aliens, particularly those involved in financial crimes.
