Mom of Karoline Leavitt's Nephew Breaks Silence on Her ICE Arrest with Scathing Words for the Press Secretary

Bruna Caroline Ferreira, the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew and godson, was detained by ICE and held for deportation in November. Now, she’s speaking out about the experience, and also sharing a pointed message for the White House press secretary.

The 33-year-old — who shares her son with Karoline’s older brother, Michael Leavitt — was arrested and detained while picking up her 11-year-old son from school in Revere, Mass., on Nov. 12.

Recalling the instance while breaking her silence to CNN’s Erin Burnett on Friday, Dec. 12, Ferreira, who appeared alongside her attorney Todd Pomerleau, also shared some choice words for the 28-year-old White House press secretary, who is her child’s godmother. (Ferreira chose Karoline for the role “over my sister,” she told CNN.)

“I think what I would have to say to Karoline is: Just because you went to a Catholic school doesn't make you a good Catholic,” Ferreira told Burnett.
