The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew has spoken out against how the administration has characterized her and her relationship to the White House press secretary, saying "why they’re creating this narrative is beyond my wildest imagination.”

In an interview with The Washington Post, published Sunday, Bruna Ferreira called the White House’s depiction of her as an absentee mother “disgusting,” and said she "made a mistake" in trusting Leavitt to be her son's godmother. Newsweek contacted the White House via email on Sunday for comment.

Why It Matters

Ferreira’s arrest drew national attention due to her association with Leavitt, a leading figure within the administration and among the most ardent champions of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. Since that time, the White House has depicted the 33-year-old—her relationship with her son, the press secretary and the broader Leavitt family—in a way that sharply contrasts with her own account.

What To Know

Ferreira, who has a child with the White House press secretary's older brother, Michael Leavitt, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on November 12. Ferreira is a Brazilian national who traveled to the U.S. legally at the age of 6 and previously held Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status.

In the "normal world", this would be a "so it goes, shit happens, whatever, none of your damn business" story.

But in the hypocritical RW loon fake-Xitian world -

1.) Ferreira was "an illegal" because 45 doesn't recognize DACA
2.) Ferreira should have been Leavitt's "Sister-in-Law" (but the "law" was broken and there was no "consummation of marriage" )
3.) The nephew is therefore "born out of wedlock" ("bastard", in their RW world)

That is the type of "evil" that they blanket everyone-else-not-them, with.

I remember the scandal talk that would periodically reappear over and over regarding Nancy (Davis) when Raygun was President (and her affair with him after his breakup with Jane Wyman), with her being pregnant BEFORE they got married, producing Patti.

1. Evil people in the White House.

2. If you have tRUMP family members, this is how they feel about you.....

.....when you're not around. These people are all sick cult members. Avoid them like the plague. Unless they apologize and switch to the Democratic Party, cut them out of your life. Donate to women's shelters that aren't based through religious orgs and non-religious food banks. That's what I plan on doing. My New Year's Resolution 2026!

3. Ferreira needs to remember that Karolyin' cares ONLY about her Fuhrer.

She's washed her hands of "people" like you long ago.

4. These people are slime. Turns out that this is revenge in a custody battle

Excerpt from: https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/12/04/leavitt-white-house-custody-battle-ice-ferreira
Read the whole thing to get some insight into this whole sordid family tree.

Bruna Ferreira — a Brazilian immigrant who shares an 11-year-old child with Karoline’s brother Michael Leavitt — was arrested by ICE in mid-November. Ferreira, 33, remains in custody in Louisiana. The boy lives with his father in New Hampshire.

Ferreira’s sister and lawyer had claimed there was no animosity between Ferreira and the Leavitts. But court records, police reports and family text chains reviewed by WBUR tell a vastly different story — one of a bitter custody battle, years-old allegations of a threat to call immigration authorities, and concerns for the well-being of the child when his mother was staying in a vacant mansion in Cohasset.

The arrest, first reported by WBUR, has sparked questions about whether the Leavitts used their inroads to the White House to put ICE onto Ferreira’s trail. Karoline Leavitt has denied any involvement in the arrest. And Michael Leavitt, 35, told WBUR on Thursday that neither he nor anyone else in his family called ICE on the mother of his son: “Absolutely not,” he said in a text response to questions.

5. Well then Melania Trump needs to be arrested too

You know that Slovenian sex worker who got an Einstein VISA then chain migrated her parents and had an anchor baby. She is here illegally. Let's see her VISA application. Because I'm pretty sure sex work and being able to put up with multiple plastic surgeries are not considered any special skill or talent.

She's an illegal immigrant and she and her family should go back to Slovenia. I hope they force migrate her before she does those horrifying Christmas decorations again.

6. Epstein visa.
