CLAIM: In November 2025, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security detained White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's brother's ex-fiancee, Brazilian national Bruna Caroline Ferreira.
RATING: TRUE, DHS confirmed the detainment to several news media outlets, and we found an individual with her name and birthplace housed in a Louisiana ICE facility as well as primary evidence corroborating claims regarding the relationship between Karoline Leavitt's brother, Michael Leavitt, and Ferreira — though Ferreira's sister and Michael Leavitt both reportedly said the relationship ended years earlier.
