Bolsonaro's Son Obtains US Green Card, Cites Judicial Persecution

Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, has secured a United States green card, granting him permanent residency. Eduardo, a federal deputy in Brazil, said he made the move to protect himself from what he describes as unfair treatment by Brazil’s Supreme Court. He stated that his relocation was not intended to help his father, who faces multiple investigations, but rather to escape what he calls unjust persecution. The Supreme Court of Brazil has been probing Jair Bolsonaro for alleged attempts to undermine the country’s electoral system and other potential crimes. The former president has denied any wrongdoing. Eduardo’s green card has drawn attention in Brazil, where some see it as a sign of the family’s growing ties to the United States and a possible escape route amid legal pressures. Eduardo emphasized that his move is personal and unrelated to his father’s legal battles. He added that he will continue to fulfill his duties as a federal deputy from abroad. The green card allows him to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely. The situation highlights the ongoing political tensions in Brazil, where Bolsonaro’s supporters and critics remain deeply divided.
