US EditionBrazil Revokes Credentials of US Immigration Officer, Claims Reciprocity
Brazil said the move was reciprocal after Washington asked a Brazilian liaison officer to leave, amid tensions over the brief ICE detention of Alexandre Ramagem.
- On Wednesday, Brazil revoked the credentials of an American police attache, mirroring the United States government's recent request for Brazilian liaison officer Marcelo Ivo to leave the country.
- Tensions escalated after United States immigration authorities detained fugitive ex-lawmaker Alexandre Ramagem, while the State Department claimed liaison officer Ivo attempted to "game" the American immigration system.
- Calling accusations that Ivo tried to fool the United States "insane," Federal Police Director-General Andrei Rodrigues stated that Ivo's expulsion "fails to observe the good diplomatic practice of dialogue between friendly nations."
- Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula warned on Tuesday that his government could reciprocate any perceived abuses by United States authorities regarding the case involving the Brazilian attache.
- Ramagem fled Brazil after being linked to an alleged coup attempt to keep leftist President Lula from power, a plot for which former President Jair Bolsonaro is currently serving a 27-year prison term.
