White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been personally linked to the brutal ICE raids sweeping America.
Her 11-year-old nephews mother, Bruna Ferreira, is now in custody at an ICE facility at Louisiana, facing deportation to Brazil.
Michael Leavitt, the press secretarys New Hampshire-based brother, had a relationship with Ferreira, resulting in the birth of son Michael Leavitt Jnr.
Ferreiras sister, Graziela Dos Santos Rodrigues, has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to fight the ICE charges and allow Bruna to remain in Boston. It has now raised over $14,000 of a $30,000 target.

Still, it could be that he wants custody of the child and this is an easy way to get it. If so

In any case, sounds sketch. Maybe he wants sole custody type of thing, w/o having to pay any lawyers or convince any judges.

I would not be surprised as Trump policy being used against a former partner.

(19,287 posts)she probably had her targeted to ensure that the dad doesn't have to deal with any custody issues, just disappear the mom.
Yes, I do believe that they are that cravenly evil.

(2,839 posts)I would imagine she would not care unless her brother adamantly didn't want her deported.

(9,782 posts)She's likely embarrassed about a nephew born out of wedlock. Or her brother is trying to get out of paying child support.

I'm hoping KKKaroline will one day experience the same treatment for her Crimes Against America and Humanity.
She displays her Crucifix and her Cleavage to show what a good KKKristian she is. Abomination.
