‘Criminal illegal alien’: White House press secretary’s relative detained by ICE, but an 11-year-old boy is caught in the middle

The immigration actions supported by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt have now hit very close to home. Bruna Ferreira, a relative of Leavitt, is being held by ICE officials and might be sent back to Brazil. This situation is very awkward for the White House press secretary because Ferreira is the mother of Leavitt’s 11-year-old nephew, Michael Leavitt Jr.

The press secretary has often spoken in favor of the same ICE raids that have now affected someone connected to her own family. Ferreira used to be engaged to Karoline Leavitt’s brother, Michael Leavitt, who lives in New Hampshire. She is now being held at the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center while her removal case moves forward.
