🇧🇷 🇺🇸 US ICE Arrests Fugitive Ex-Brazilian Intel Chief

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested Alexandre Ramagem Rodrigues, the former chief of Brazil's intelligence agency, on American soil. Rodrigues had fled to the United States to escape prosecution in his home country.

He faces a potential 16-year prison sentence linked to allegations of plotting a coup together with former President Jair Bolsonaro. The arrest by US authorities marks a significant development in the ongoing legal challenges facing Bolsonaro's allies, even though, in theory, the right-wing US administration is supposed to assist its allies in Brazil.

Ramagem was reportedly detained in Florida following a traffic stop. An ally claims Ramagem has legal status in the US and a pending asylum request under review, making the fact that he was arrested even more surprising - on many occasions, President Trump voiced support for Bolsonaro and his allies.
