Brazil's Flavio Bolsonaro arrives in US after election defeat
U.S. officials approved visas for Bolsonaro and his family as Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered him to surrender passports amid a money-laundering probe.
- On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro arrived at Opa-locka Executive Airport near Miami, Florida, following his loss in the recent presidential election to incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula.
- Bolsonaro left Brazil after failing to comply with a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports by Tuesday, while remaining under investigation for suspected money laundering involving Brazil's betting industry.

- Responding to the departure on Tuesday, Lula called the senator's exit from Brazil "shameful" in comments provided to CBS News Miami following the election defeat.
- Sean Foreman, a political science professor at Barry University, suggested the senator's presence could create political complications for the Trump administration and potentially lead to asylum in the United States.
