Karoline Leavitt's Family Member Captured By ICE Goons [View all]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been personally linked to the brutal ICE raids sweeping America.

Her 11-year-old nephew’s mother, Bruna Ferreira, is now in custody at an ICE facility at Louisiana, facing deportation to Brazil.

Michael Leavitt, the press secretary’s New Hampshire-based brother, had a relationship with Ferreira, resulting in the birth of son Michael Leavitt Jnr.

Ferreira’s 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.

Does anyone believe she cares? sinkingfeeling Nov 25 #7

Maybe if it were her nephew himself, but said nephew's (perhaps Latina/Brazilian) baby-mama? AZJonnie Nov 25 #10
