A relative of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Louisiana. Bruna Ferreira, who is the ex-fiancé of Karoline's brother Michael, was taken into custody earlier this month after being held at an ICE facility in Revere, Massachusetts. According to officials, Ferreira migrated to the United States from Brazil as a child and has been living in the country without proper documentation. Her tourist visa expired in 1999, and she has been living in the US illegally. Ferreira has a 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, who has been living with his father in New Hampshire. The two reportedly separated 10 years ago and have not spoken in years. A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to cover Ferreira's legal expenses as she navigates the citizenship process. The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed that Ferreira has previous arrest records for battery, although the details of those incidents are unclear. Karoline Leavitt's connection to Ferreira was confirmed by a White House official, who noted that the two are related through Michael Leavitt. The White House Press Secretary has not publicly commented on the situation. Ferreira's case highlights the complexities of immigration law and the challenges faced by individuals who have been living in the US without proper documentation. As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Ferreira's case will be resolved.
