I think that it is illegal. Why don't you file a change of address with the Post Office?

No, it isn't legal. Tell her you will report her to the U.S. Post Office if she doesn't give you your mail. She could be facing federal charges.

Yes, it is illegal. She's keeping something that she knows does not belong to her.
