$270,000 Cash Gets Jeanine Pirro Detained at LAX

By Alexander Saeedy

Posted July 19, 2025

Judge Jeanine Pirro got into hot water for not reporting around $270,000 in foreign cash when coming back to the U.S. The law says you have to declare anything over $10,000, and she didn’t. She ended up being held at the airport for six long hours.
