Mom Of Karoline Leavitt's Nephew Demands Answers After Weeks In ICE Custody

"...How would you feel if somebody did this to you?” Bruna Caroline Ferreira asked in the first interview since her release.

During her first interview since being released from weeks in ICE custody, the mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew has a message for the White House press secretary.

Bruna Caroline Ferreira spoke about her “mind-boggling” experience during a sit-down with CNN’s Erin Burnett, which aired Friday. Federal immigration agents detained Ferreira on November 12 while she was picking up her son from school.

“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 said. “You know, you’re a mother. You are a mother now, and you should know. How would you feel if you were in those, in my shoes? You know, how would you feel if somebody did this to you?”

Ferreira, the ex-fiancée and co-parent of the press secretary’s brother Michael Leavitt, told CNN she arrived in the U.S. from Brazil in 1998, when she was 6 years old. Ferreira said she was in the process of obtaining a green card at the time of her arrest.

Ferreira also shot down the White House’s claim that she was an absentee mother who had never lived with her son.
