A high-profile immigration case has unfolded in the United States, involving Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary. Her nephew's mother, Bruna Caroline Ferreira, a 33-year-old Brazilian native, has been detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since November 12 in Revere, Massachusetts. Ferreira, who came to the US as a child in 1998, is facing deportation after allegedly overstaying a B-2 tourist visa that expired in 1999. However, her legal team disputes the claim of prior arrest for battery, citing no record of conviction. They argue that Ferreira was previously protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and was in the process of obtaining permanent residency when she was detained. A GoFundMe campaign initiated by Ferreira's sister has raised over $23,000 to secure her legal defense. Supporters are rallying behind the cause, emphasizing Ferreira's kind-hearted nature and her efforts to build a stable life in the US. The campaign aims to 'bring Bruna home from immigration detention and reuniting her with her son' before the holiday season. Karoline Leavitt has maintained that she had no involvement in her relative's detention. An official from the White House clarified that Leavitt's only connection to the case is her familial relationship with Ferreira. The case highlights the complexities of US immigration laws and the emotional toll on families caught in the middle. As the situation unfolds, one thing is clear: Ferreira's community is rallying behind her, hoping to bring her home and reunite her with her loved ones.
