The U.S. State Department confirmed that Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro and his family will receive visas to enter the United States, according to a senior official speaking anonymously on Tuesday. Bolsonaro faces investigations in Brazil for corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion, and had been ordered by the Supreme Court to surrender all passports and was banned from leaving the country. His whereabouts remain unknown, with President Lula stating he has left Brazil. President Donald Trump said he would approve the visas, calling Bolsonaro "good people," while Argentine authorities denied reports the senator had entered their country. Bolsonaro's brother Eduardo has resided in the U.S. since 2025.
