Flavio Bolsonaro Flees Brazil for Miami After Trump Grants Entry

usnews.com —

Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro is expected to arrive in Miami Wednesday morning with his family after fleeing Brazil, where the US government will grant them entry visas following his election loss. Bolsonaro crossed into Argentina late Tuesday with his wife and two daughters, defying a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports, then boarded a private plane to Ecuador before heading to Miami. His departure follows President Trump's approval of his US entry and deepens tensions between Brazil and the US. The senator, who lost Sunday's presidential election to incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, had previously denied plans to flee, saying he would defend himself against what he called a "travesty." His father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, also sought refuge in the US after his 2022 defeat.
