![REVERE, Mass. —
A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts.
The woman, Bruna Ferreira, has an 11-year-old son with Michael Leavitt, Karoline Leavitt's brother.
Ferreira migrated with her family to the United States from Brazil as a child and is currently in custody at an ICE facility in southern Louisiana.
Michael Leavitt released a statement, saying that his "only concern has always been the safety, well-being, and privacy of [his] son."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreiacyzixchgacpjse7wyra342opgjsvdxzqdrkxq55zzqah65zyeae@jpeg)

The funniest part of Willis saying they might repeal the brand new Act they only just passed into law was the bit where she said they might 'campaign' on repealing it. Can't wait to see those ads lmfao.

"Bari Weiss says she wants to use her new perch" to "sideline voices" like Nick Fuentes.
Two days ago The Free Press, which Weiss founded, published a puff piece on Fuentes ally Dasha Nekrasova in which she defends Fuentes and her relationship with him.
Sincerely, better luck next time though.

Remember, govt has advice that it can’t repeal the local act providing for Ngai Tahu representation on Canta RC by a govt bill without some dodgy suspension of SOs etc. So, instead, it looks like ACT is going to tear down the institutions itself making the local act moot.

I don't think any of this is really a surprise but it really does reveal how much the government doesn't give a shit about the consequences of what they do
They didn't do it to pad out their benefit numbers target, just to save a tiny bit of money in the short term and who cares about the effects.
