A Brazilian-born woman with connections to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been released from United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody. The individual, Bruna Ferreira, has been contesting her deportation status.

Bruna Ferreira, who resides in Massachusetts, was granted a $1,500 bond on Mon, Nov 20, 2025, by an immigration judge in Louisiana. Ferreira was detained by ICE agents in the previous month while traveling in New Hampshire. She was previously engaged to Michael Leavitt, the brother of Karoline Leavitt.

Her attorney, Todd Pomerleau, stated that the argument was made that Ferreira posed no danger or flight risk. The government agreed with this assessment, and there was no appeal made to her release conditions.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified Ferreira as a "criminal illegal alien" due to past allegations, which her lawyer disputes. She originally entered the United States on a B2 tourist visa in 1999. Ferreira is currently part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provides protection from deportation for certain individuals brought to the country as children. She is actively seeking a green card.

According to DHS, Ferreira will be required to have regular check-ins with ICE law enforcement as part of her release terms.

Official statements from the Trump administration describe Ferreira as an absentee parent, stating her child has lived with Michael Leavitt full-time. Ferreira contests these claims, asserting she has shared custody and has lived with her child.

The Trump administration has maintained a robust stance on immigration enforcement, with Karoline Leavitt being a vocal advocate for stricter ICE operations.
