No foreigner gets to game our immigration system to both circumvent formal extradition requests and extend political witch hunts into U.S. territory. Today, we have asked that the relevant Brazilian official depart our nation for attempting to do that.






Justice Moraes, a sanctioned human rights abuser, has brought Brazil’s Supreme Court into international disrepute and shame by flouting traditional norms of judicial restraint and brazenly politicizing the judicial process. The US is gravely concerned by his latest attack on the rule of law and political stability in Brazil: the provocative and unnecessary incarceration of former President Bolsonaro, who was already under house arrest under heavy guard and extreme limitations on communication. There is nothing more dangerous to democracy than a judge who knows no limits on his power. 🇺🇸🇧🇷
