Harvard Professor Detained by ICE After Boston Synagogue Shooting, Agrees to Voluntarily Leave US

Carlos Portugal Gouvea agreed to leave the U.S. after pleading guilty to illegally firing a pellet gun near a synagogue; local authorities dispute claims of antisemitic motive.

  • Carlos Portugal Gouv�a, visiting Harvard Law professor from Brazil, left the United States on Thursday, DHS announced, and his attorney confirmed he arrived in Brazil.
  • The State Department revoked Carlos Portugal Gouv�a's J-1 visa on Oct. 16, DHS said, and Harvard Law School lists him as a fall 2025 visiting professor.
  • Brookline Police said they were called just after 9 p.m. on Wednesday during Yom Kippur to a report of a `person with a gun` at Temple Beth Zion, while private security heard `at least two loud shots fired` and saw Gouv�a behind a tree.
  • As part of the plea, Gouv�a was placed on six months' pre-trial probation and ordered to pay $386.59 t, Norfolk DA Morrissey said earlier this year.
  • Homeland Security described the October event as antisemitic while Temple Beth Zion Brookline said it did not appear motivated by antisemitism, and Brookline Police reported Gouv�a claimed he was `shooting rats`.
