US EditionMom of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew rejects White House narrative of her ICE arrest
Bruna Ferreira denies claims of being an absent mother after ICE arrest; her lawyers say she has no criminal record and was a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipient.
- On November 12, ICE arrested Bruna Ferreira, Brazilian immigrant and mother of Karoline Leavitt's nephew, in Revere, Massachusetts, and detained her at an ICE processing center in south Louisiana.
- As a child, Ferreira entered the U.S. and later received DACA protection, though authorities say she overstayed a childhood visa amid the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign.
- Court records and family photos show Ferreira lived with Michael Leavitt and shared an address, while she called the White House's portrayal `disgusting` and said she `made a mistake` trusting Leavitt.
- Ferreira's lawyers say she has no criminal record and warned of family hardship if removed, while Michael Leavitt denied any involvement, saying he had `no involvement` in her being picked up by ICE as removal proceedings begin.
- With ties to the Leavitts, the case has drawn nationwide attention and scrutiny as the White House and DHS labeled Ferreira a `criminal`, while her attorney said she's `just one of many thousands` treated similarly.
