Brazilian Ex-Intelligence Chief Released After U.S. Immigration Arrest, Thanks President Trump
Alexandre Ramagem, Brazil's former intelligence agency chief, was released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a two-day detention in Florida. Ramagem, who was sentenced to 16 years in prison in Brazil for his involvement in a coup attempt, fled the country before serving his sentence. He expressed gratitude to President Trump for his release, although he did not provide evidence of Trump's involvement. Ramagem had filed for political asylum in the U.S., and his release did not require bail, which is uncommon in similar migration cases.
