Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are holding the mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew in custody, multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday.
Bruna Ferreira, 33, is currently being held at an ICE facility in Louisiana after she was taken into custody in Revere, Massachusetts, at some point this month. The exact date of the detention is unclear. WBUR, which first reported the incident, says it took place earlier in November.
Ferreira was initially taken to a women’s prison in Vermont before being moved to South Louisiana. She is currently in removal proceedings because her family is accused of overstaying a tourist visa that expired in 1999, according to Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin.
Ferreira came to the US as a child in 1998 from Brazil and has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline’s brother. The two were engaged in 2014, but later broke up. It is unclear when they separated, but the pair shares custody of the child.
They is the deported woman’s “ex-family” in this context, y’know. The Leavitts probably dont like sharing custody or whatever it is. The Leavitt’s have some control over the mechanisms in this regime and, with the probable mental dispositions the Leavitt’s have being on the political right, would love special privileges. Its what the right is all about. “You can’t do X or Y but I can cause I am the big special”. Therefore, the family wanted to deport this woman
I omitted every “they” this time, hope thats let’s confusing for you.
Ah, I see now. Yes, that was much clearer.
