   The “criminal illegal alien” mother of White House press secretary   
   Karoline Leavitt’s nephew has been detained by federal immigration   
   officials in Massachusetts.   
      
   Bruna Caroline Ferreira, a Brazilian native, was taken into custody   
   earlier this month in Revere, Mass., near Boston, after overstaying a   
   tourist visa, according to the Department of Homeland Security.   
      
   Ferreira is a “criminal illegal alien” who had a previous arrest on   
   suspicion of battery, a DHS spokesperson told NBC News.   
      
   It is not clear how the case was resolved and The Post could not   
   independently confirm the alleged charge. The DHS did not immediately   
   respond to a request for comment.   
      
   “She entered the US on a B2 tourist visa that required her to depart the   
   US by June 6, 1999,” the spokesperson told NBC.   
      
   “She is currently at the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center and is in   
   removal proceedings. Under President Trump and [DHS] Secretary [Kristi]   
   Noem, all individuals unlawfully present in the United States are   
   subject to deportation.”   
      
   Ferreira shares an 11-year-old son with Leavitt’s older brother,   
   Michael. The couple were previously engaged and have joint custody,   
   according to her attorney, Todd Pomerleau.   
      
   Ferreira was arrested while driving to pick up her son from New   
   Hampshire, where he lives with his father, Pomerleau told CNN.   
      
   Karoline Leavitt, the country’s youngest White House press secretary at   
   28, doesn’t have a relationship with Ferreira, and the two women had not   
   spoken in many years, a source told WMUR.   
      
   Michael Leavitt, for his part, said Ferreira has maintained a   
   relationship with her son but that the boy had lived with him since   
   birth.   
      
   “The only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of   
   my son,” Michael Leavitt told the local outlet.   
      
   Ferreira’s attorney insisted in a statement to The Post that his client   
   has no criminal record.   
      
   “We dispute that she has any criminal record,” Pomerleau said.   
      
   Pomerleau also said that Ferreira “maintained her legal status” under   
   the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.   
      
   “She’s in the process of actually getting her green card and she was   
   abruptly arrested and taken from her young child right before   
   Thanksgiving,” he told WCVB.   
      
   Ferreira’s son hasn’t spoken to his mother since her arrest, the lawyer   
   added.   
      
   “I’m just trying to fight to get her out of jail. She should not be   
   sitting in a jail hours away from her family and from her child’s life.   
   She’s a great mom, and from what I heard, I think he’s been a pretty   
   good dad,” he said.   
      
   “His mother is locked up in Louisiana, where she should have never been   
   in the first place,” Pomerleau said of Michael Leavitt and Ferreira’s   
   son.   
      
   Since taking office, Trump and his team have organized a “mass   
   deportation campaign,” which includes a push for people illegally in the   
   country to “self-deport” as well as major law enforcement operations   
   involving ICE, the Border Patrol and the National Guard in cities and   
   towns across the US.   
      
   A relative of Ferreira set up a GoFundMe for her, saying she was brought   
   to the US as a child in 1998 and followed all protocols.   
      
   “Since then, she has done everything in her power to build a stable,   
   honest life here. She has maintained her legal status through DACA,   
   followed every requirement, and has always strived to do the right   
   thing,” the fundraiser said.   
      
   In 2014, Michael Leavitt won $1 million from a DraftKings daily fantasy   
   football contest. At the time, he was engaged to Ferreira and their son   
   was 8 months old. The young family posed for pictures on a giant novelty   
   check provided by the gambling site.   
      
   “I need the lights fixed on the back of my car,” Ferreira told the North   
   Andover, Mass., Eagle-Tribune at the time. “And we need a lamp for my   
   son’s room. Other than that we don’t really need much. We have our   
   health. We have a nice condo. We really are blessed.”   
      
   Michael Leavitt did not respond to a request for comment.
