U.S. immigration authorities have detained a woman who is the mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt's nephew, according to a source familiar with the arrest.
A DHS spokesperson identified the woman as Bruna Caroline Ferreira.
A reporter with ABC New Hampshire station WMUR spoke with Leavitt's brother, Michael Leavitt, who also confirmed the arrest and said she was detained a few weeks ago.
According to Michael Leavitt, his 11-year-old son has lived with him since he was born but says the child maintains a relationship with his mother, WMUR reported.
A DHS spokesperson described Ferreira, a Brazilian national, as a "criminal illegal alien" who has a previous arrest for battery and overstayed a visa that expired in 1999.
"ICE arrested Bruna Caroline Ferreria, a criminal illegal alien from Brazil. She has a previous arrest for battery. She entered the U.S. on a B2 tourist visa that required her to depart the U.S. by June 6, 1999. She is currently at the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center and is in removal proceedings. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, all individuals unlawfully present in the United States are subject to deportation," the spokesperson said.
Todd Pomerleau, an attorney for Ferreira spoke with Boston ABC station WCVB, and pushed back on claims that Ferreira has a criminal history.
"Bruna has no criminal record whatsoever, I don't know where that is coming from. Show us the proof," Pomerleau told. https://abc7.com/post/ice-arrests-woman-family-con...Pardon me whilst I laugh my ass off. 😂😅🤣😆😁

How is this supposed to be some kind of "dunk" on Caroline Leavitt?
It kind of sounds like Leavitt's brother may have gotten baby-trapped by a Brazilian woman grifting a green card scam/immigration scam of some kind.
The brother, Michael Levitt, sounds like he has full custody of their 11 year old son and isn't really in contact with the baby mama.
And what's with this Pomerleau dude, does he have all the immigration cases, or just the ones where he can get lots of publicity (and money) for himself, draining all the assets before the person in question inevitably gets deported?

I don't like the ICE tactics. It's disgusting.
BUT....
I won't condemn when women in Sweden, France, and American Whole Foods parking lots get DE-ICED....by those who should not have been in the country in the first place.
Some kale - -and 'unexpected' romance -- looks like it's not out of style yet.
Oh well.

While the brother of a prominent White House official in this administration having a child with "an illegal immigrant" is comical, his using his connection to his sister seemingly to have the mother of his child arrested and possibly deported to gain sole custody of their child is not a laughing matter.
But pretty much SOP for this lawless administration.

Commoner,
I'm sorry, why should we be laughing at Caroline Leavitt?
Another ProGlib against the rule of law, it seems.
If the illegal alien's baby daddy reported her illegality to ICE, and the illegal alien was detained and is going to be deported, that's just the Rule of Law.
You obviously don't believe in Rule of Law.

Weatherputz, how long is it going to take you to learn that U.S. citizens have different legal rights then illegal aliens?
I guess forever?
