Argentina disputes Flávio Bolsonaro allies, says senator left Tuesday night

valor.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Argentina's migration authority contradicted allies of Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, stating he had not yet reached the United States as of Tuesday night. The agency confirmed he entered Argentina with his wife and two daughters at 10:50 PM Brasília time via the Tancredo Neves International Bridge. The group departed on a private Baires Fly SA flight at 11:30 PM bound for Guayaquil, Ecuador, according to the flight plan. Argentine officials noted they carried valid travel documents and faced no legal entry restrictions. US President Donald Trump, upon arriving in Washington, said he heard Flávio was in Argentina and expressed willingness to approve visas for the senator and his family, calling them "good people." A Trump administration official earlier said the State Department would issue visas without specifying their category or duration.
