"Bruna Ferreira, who was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in November during a traffic stop in Massachusetts and was being held at a Louisiana detention center, said in an interview with the Washington Post that the White House's statements that she had never lived with her son or spoken with Leavitt in many years were incorrect. Ferreira, 33, had a relationship with Leavitt's brother, 35-year-old Michael Leavitt. They had a son, Michael Leavitt Jr, now aged 11."
"She said she was offended by the White House's characterizations, calling them disgusting. She said she takes her son to Dave & Buster's, a food and video games chain; ferries him to school, cheers at sports games; and fills his bedroom with everything a young boy needs. Ferreira told the Post that she also moved mountains to ensure her son could attend Karoline Leavitt's wedding to real estate developer Nicholas Riccio in early January."
"Ferreira also said she approved her son to attend the White House Easter egg hunt in the spring. I asked Karoline to be godmother [to Michael Jr] over my only sister, she told the Post. I made a mistake there, in trusting. Why they're creating this narrative is beyond my wildest imagination. The differentiated accounts came as Ferreira was released on a $1,500 bond on Monday after immigration judge Cynthia Goodman ordered that she be freed on the lowest-dollar bail possible, according to her lawyers."
Bruna Ferreira was detained by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in November during a traffic stop in Massachusetts and held at a Louisiana detention center. The White House described her as having never lived with her son or spoken with Karoline Leavitt in many years. Ferreira rejects those characterizations, saying she actively cares for her 11-year-old son — taking him to Dave & Buster's, ferrying him to school, cheering at sports games, and furnishing his bedroom. She arranged for him to attend Leavitt's wedding and the White House Easter egg hunt. An immigration judge ordered her release on a $1,500 bond after lawyers argued she is not a flight risk.
