US EditionLula warns will respond after US expels police attache
Lula said Brazil would retaliate if U.S. officials abused power against its police officer, as Washington cited immigration-system manipulation.
- On Monday, the State Department's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs asked Commissioner Marcelo Ivo, a Brazilian federal police liaison in Miami, to leave the United States for allegedly manipulating the American immigration system.
- Brazilian media linked the expulsion to Ivo's role in the April 13 detention and release of fugitive ex-spy chief Alexandre Ramagem, a close ally of former president Jair Bolsonaro.
- Warning of retaliation on Tuesday, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva stated, "If there has been an abuse of power by the United States against our police officer, we will retaliate against their police officers in Brazil."
- While the former president remains under house arrest, his son Eduardo Bolsonaro expressed being "especially grateful" to Trump for the American handling of Ramagem, whom he called a "true national hero."
- The incident heightens political tensions, as Trump had previously used similar "witch hunt" language regarding the 2025 Brazilian Supreme Court trial that convicted Bolsonaro and Ramagem for attempting a coup.
