White House Press Secretary's Nephew's Mother Granted Bond Amid Deportation Fight
Bruna Ferreira, connected to the White House through her child with the brother of press secretary Karoline Leavitt, has been granted bond by a Louisiana immigration judge. Ferreira was detained by ICE in Revere, Massachusetts, and has been held in a Louisiana immigration facility. The bond was set at $1,500, and her release is expected soon. Federal officials have labeled Ferreira as a 'criminal illegal alien,' a characterization her lawyers dispute, citing a lack of criminal charges. Ferreira's legal team argues that a past misdemeanor does not disqualify her from obtaining a green card or DACA status. Ferreira, who came to the U.S. from Brazil at age six, faces deportation proceedings, and her legal team is preparing to contest these actions.
