The guy who was arrested helped Jair Bolsonaro, who is one of Trump's allies. I suspect ICE will get orders to release him soon.

Yeah but bolsanero is powerless right now, so what’s the transaction there for Trump?

One of Bolsonaro sons, Flavio, is a candidate for president on this year general election happening in October. Trump administration probably will try to influence that election, the same way they did and failed miserably in Hungary.

Seems like a shitty spy to get caught by ice.
But I do guess that checks out.

His two demands;
Don't prosecute his many crimes and,
Put him near a Fogo De Chao.

It will be interesting to see how his treatment compares to that of the average legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, and citizens who get caught up in ICE crimes.

[He was already released.](https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/former-brazil-spy-chief-freed-us-after-ice-detention-bolsonaro-ally-says-2026-04-15/) Who would’ve guessed, right?

My guess is that this guy would be of considerable value to the current Brazilian government given they likely still have a ton of criminal activity by the Bolsonaro government to investigate. Not to mention his former level of security clearance.
For that reason, it wouldn't surprise me at this point if the Trump administration tries to extort Brazil for his return.

I’d imagine the spy thing doesn’t matter so much. But boy does he not look super caucasian. And we have an arrest.
