Hajia4Real named on US ‘Worst of the Worst’ deportation list as DH

Socialite and musician Mona Faiz Montrage, widely known as Hajia4Reall, has been identified on a controversial new list published by the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which names foreign nationals facing deportation.

The DHS released the database—titled “Arrested Worst of the Worst”—on its official website (wow.dhs.gov) as part of a heightened enforcement push . The list, which includes photos, names, and specific crimes, aims to highlight individuals the agency describes as “the worst of the worst criminal aliens” .

According to the DHS publication, 32 Ghanaians are featured alongside other foreign nationals. Their alleged offenses span a wide range of criminal activities, including shoplifting, cocaine possession, fraud, domestic violence, weapons violations, and child cruelty allegations .

Fraud Conviction and Deportation

Hajia4Reall’s inclusion on the list stems from her previous legal troubles in the United States. The DHS records indicate she was arrested in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on charges related to fraud .

Court documents reveal that Montrage was at the center of a sophisticated romance scam that defrauded approximately 40 victims. She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to receive stolen money and was sentenced in June 2024 to one year and one day in prison .

Following her incarceration at the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia, she was ordered to pay $1,387,458 in restitution to her victims and was subsequently deported back to Ghana .

Domestic Controversy

The publication of the DHS list coincides with renewed legal scrutiny for the socialite in Ghana. Local media reports indicate that Hajia4Reall has been named in a divorce and custody battle involving businessman Richard Nii Armah Quaye (RNAQ) and his ex-wife, Joana Quaye .

In a motion filed on June 2, 2026, Joana Quaye is seeking to restrict Hajia4Reall’s access to her children, citing the socialite’s “ex-convict” status regarding the fraud conviction. The filing alleges that the children are being exposed to inappropriate content on social media, including “twerking” videos, while under the care of their father and Hajia4Reall . The court has adjourned the case to June 26, 2026, to review video evidence submitted by the plaintiff .

The DHS website launch represents a significant escalation in the enforcement of immigration policies. A notice on the site states that under the current administration, agencies are “carrying out mass deportations — starting with the worst of the worst” .
