The mother, currently held by ICE in Louisiana, has been in the U.S. since she was a child—and a member of the Leavitt family for over a decade, her sister claims.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been eviscerated over her refusal to help after ICE detained her nephew’s mom.

The White House official has gone radio silent since Bruna Ferreira—who is the mother of Leavitt’s nephew—was swept up by ICE this month, Ferreira’s sister, Graziela Dos Santos Rodrigues, tells the Boston Globe.

Making the matter more bizarre, Dos Santos Rodrigues revealed that some in the Leavitt family, including her child’s father, pushed her to self-deport after she was detained—back to a country where she has no home, and hardly speaks the language.

“They just kept saying, ’Tell her to self-deport,’” she told the Globe. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home. They’re trying to push it off as a vacation. That’s not a vacation. Bruna barely speaks the language.”
