Bolsonaro's Son Arrives in Miami, Claims to Be Brazil's Legitimate Leader

Brazilian right-wing presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, arrived in Miami on October 28 after secretly leaving Brazil following his election defeat, claiming to be the country's legitimate leader. Bolsonaro, who faces corruption and money laundering investigations in Brazil, had his passports revoked and was barred from leaving the country. He reportedly used an Italian passport and entered the U.S. on humanitarian parole, with assistance from Trump aides and Argentine President Javier Milei's team. Trump personally approved his travel on October 27, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued the visa. Bolsonaro plans to lead opposition activities from the U.S., though the White House has shown limited willingness to act beyond providing refuge.
