Judge: Release Immigrant with Ties to Karoline Leavitt

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- A Brazilian woman with family ties to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will be released from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody while she fights potential deportation, an immigration judge ruled Monday. Bruna Ferreira, 33, a longtime Massachusetts resident, was previously engaged to Leavitt's brother, Michael. She was driving to pick up their 11-year-old son in New Hampshire when she was arrested by ICE agents in Revere, Massachusetts, on Nov. 12. Ferreira later was moved to a detention facility in Louisiana, where an immigration judge ordered that she be released on $1,500 bond, her attorney Todd Pomerleau said. "We argued that she wasn't a danger or a flight risk," he said in a text message. "The government stipulated to our argument and never once argued that she was criminal illegal alien and waived appeal."
