   Mother of Karoline Leavitt's nephew ordered released from DHS detention   
   Story by Laura Romero   
      
      
   The mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was   
   ordered released from immigration detention on Monday, according to her   
   attorney.   
      
   Bruna Caroline Ferreira, who is in the process of obtaining a green card   
   and previously held DACA status, was ordered released by an immigration   
   judge on a minimum bond of $1,500.   
      
   Ferreira's attorney, Todd Pomerleau, told ABC News that he argued at a   
   hearing that his client is not a "criminal illegal alien," as described by   
   the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), nor that she is a flight risk.   
      
   Ferreira is expected to be released Monday or Tuesday, according to   
   Pomerleau.   
      
   The White House did not immediately respond to an ABC News request for   
   comment.   
      
   DHS confirmed two weeks ago that Ferreira had been detained. A reporter   
   with ABC New Hampshire station WMUR spoke with Leavitt's brother, Michael   
   Leavitt, who also confirmed the arrest and said Ferreira had been detained   
   a few weeks previously.   
      
   A DHS spokesperson then described Ferreira, a Brazilian national, as a   
   "criminal illegal alien" who had a previous arrest for battery and had   
   overstayed a visa that expired in 1999.

   "ICE arrested Bruna Caroline Ferreria, a criminal illegal alien from   
   Brazil. She has a previous arrest for battery. She entered the U.S. on a B2   
   tourist visa that required her to depart the U.S. by June 6, 1999," the DHS   
   spokesperson said. "She is currently at the South Louisiana ICE Processing   
   Center and is in removal proceedings. Under President Trump and Secretary   
   Noem, all individuals unlawfully present in the United States are subject   
   to deportation," the spokesperson said.   
      
   "Bruna has no criminal record whatsoever, I don't know where that is coming   
   from. Show us the proof," Pomerleau told Boston ABC station WCVB after   
   Ferreria’s arrest was announced.   
      
   Pomerleau also said then that Ferreira entered the country lawfully,   
   previously held DACA status and was in the process of obtaining a green   
   card. He further said that his client was arrested in her car in   
   Massachusetts after being stopped with no warrant, adding that he now has   
   to litigate her case in Louisiana, thousands of miles away from her home.   
      
   Pomerleau also told WCVB that he did not believe that his client's   
   connection to Karoline Leavitt could affect the case, adding that he   
   believes it's just "happenstance."
