Alexandre Ramagem, former Brazilian spy chief sentenced to over 16 years for a coup attempt and a fugitive in the US since late 2025, was detained Monday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Orlando, Florida. While Brazilian Federal Police cite immigration violations amid an extradition request, ally Eduardo Bolsonaro claims it stemmed from a minor traffic stop and expects quick release amid Ramagem's asylum bid.
Brazil's Senate Foreign Relations Committee has approved an official mission to the United States to oversee asylum requests by Brazilians, with a focus on former deputy Alexandre Ramagem's case following his brief ICE detention. The move, requested by Senator Jorge Seif, aims to verify consular support and US immigration practices amid Brazil's extradition push.
