Far-right senator and family land in US after crossing from Brazil into Argentina and then flying via Ecuador

A jet carrying the Brazilian far-right senator Flávio Bolsonaro has landed in Miami, Florida, where the losing candidate in Sunday’s presidential election runoff left the airport under police escort without speaking to the press.

The Gulfstream IV, registered as LV-JQW, left Guayaquil in Ecuador earlier in the day.

After losing Sunday’s election to the incumbent president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Bolsonaro disappeared for more than 24 hours, until Argentina’s migration authorities said he had entered the country by land on Tuesday night.

There, he boarded the Gulfstream IV. The aircraft had been parked at Puerto Iguazú airport since the early hours of the previous morning, when the first reports emerged in Argentinian media that he intended to flee on it.

      I fled my nation (the US). I also have so much disdain for the country that has only caused me harm and trauma that I refuse to be labeled as such, I even switched to using the passport of my birth country (in part because the US won’t let me renew)

      So yeah, agreed

    I thought we weren’t letting criminal immigrants in? I mean his government is looking for him for some serious crimes. And we even made an extra official immune force to get rid of these dangerous people 🤔 How did this one have a hot off the press visa waiting for him in Florida? Someone must have stumbled with some paperwork somewhere. /s

    Like father like son. Remember his imprisoned father going to Florida after losing in 2022?

    Crime family asking for help from another crime family.

    These republicans are another level of crooked.

      if Trump were already president by then he would never have returned, so here’s hoping the USA get an at least okay-ish leader soon

    “International criminal feeling justice welcomed by US government.” – Not really surprising given the nature of the current administration.
