White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is facing unexpected scrutiny after one of her relatives — labeled by DHS as a “criminal illegal alien” — was detained by ICE in Massachusetts. Bruna Caroline Ferreira, a Brazil-born former DACA recipient, was taken into custody in Revere after allegedly overstaying a tourist visa that expired in 1999. Ferreira shares an 11-year-old son with Leavitt’s brother, Michael, placing the incident directly in the White House’s orbit.
