Brought from Brazil as a child in 1998, she built a quiet life in the U.S., worked, and enrolled in DACA, believing it offered some protection. Instead, she now sits in the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center, facing removal to a country she barely remembers, while officials cite an old battery arrest and the simple fact of her expired visa.<\/p>\n<p>Her case might have remained anonymous if not for one detail: she shares an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, brother of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. The administration insists there has been \u201cno involvement whatsoever,\u201d yet the emotional fallout is impossible to separate from the politics. Bruna\u2019s sister has launched a GoFundMe to fund a last-ditch legal fight, as her son clings to a single hope\u2014that his mother will somehow be home before the holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mother is locked in an ICE cell while her 11-year-old son waits for her to come home.
