Trump and Milei aided Flávio Bolsonaro's US escape via Italian passport and humanitarian visa

gazetadopovo.com.br (Portuguese) —

The Wall Street Journal detailed the operation that brought Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro and his family to Florida, following a Supreme Court order to surrender his passport after Sunday's election. The senator arrived Wednesday morning. A small group, including Trump ally Jason Miller and Flávio's brother Eduardo, arranged a chartered jet from Argentina. Trump personally approved entry, and the family used humanitarian parole, allowing a one-year stay. Argentine officials, including Milei aide Santiago Caputo, coordinated the border crossing. Flávio traveled with an Italian passport. He reportedly intends to establish a political operation from exile, while Washington allies push Trump to contest Lula's victory, though the White House has shown little sign of going beyond offering refuge.
