Overview

  • Immigration Judge Cynthia Goodman set the statutory minimum bond after finding Bruna Ferreira was neither a flight risk nor a danger, according to her attorneys.
  • A Department of Homeland Security lawyer did not oppose release and waived appeal, multiple outlets reported.
  • ICE arrested Ferreira on Nov. 12 in Revere, Massachusetts, and transferred her to the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center more than 1,500 miles away.
  • DHS labeled her a “criminal illegal alien,” citing a visa overstay and a prior battery arrest, while her lawyers and public records say she has no criminal convictions, previously held DACA status, and is in a green-card process.
  • Attention intensified due to her connection to the White House press secretary’s family, as court filings, photographs, and interviews dispute claims that she was absent from her son’s life or estranged from Karoline Leavitt.
