Karoline Leavitt PANICS After Kidnapped Relative Exposes Shocking Truth
The saga surrounding Karoline Leavitt—a prominent press secretary and rising conservative figure—has taken a dramatic turn, as her ex-sister-in-law, Bruna, speaks out through her lawyer, exposing what she claims to be targeted and unconstitutional treatment at the hands of ICE and the Leavitt family. Really American host Tony Hinderman broke down the story, highlighting the pain and injustice faced by Bruna and others caught in the crosshairs of aggressive immigration enforcement.
The Family Connection and Alleged Targeting
Bruna, who was once engaged to Karoline Leavitt’s brother and even chose Karoline as her son’s godmother, was swept up by ICE in an operation her lawyer describes as anything but random. Despite cordial relations with the Leavitt family since ending the engagement a decade ago, Bruna’s lawyer suggests that family connections may have played a role in her arrest, especially given the Leavitts’ history of false claims about Bruna’s involvement in her child’s life.
“I’m not saying that the Leavitt family pulled some strings to get her out of the picture, but her lawyer certainly is since they’ve already been caught in multiple lies…”
Bruna’s lawyer detailed the arrest:
– Surrounded by four unmarked ICE vehicles
– Asked for her driver’s license in a non-traffic stop
– Taken across multiple states before ending up in a Louisiana detention facility
He argues that the arrest violated constitutional rights, noting,
“We have a right to remain silent on US soil regardless of our status.”
Political Context: ICE and the Trump Administration
The incident occurs amid what Hinderman calls the Trump administration’s “kidnapping campaign,” with ICE ramping up detentions and deportations as the administration seeks to inflict maximum pain before its term ends. The lawyer highlights that Bruna is a business owner and mother, with no criminal record and previous protection under DACA—the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
The Broader Crisis: DACA Recipients Under Attack
Bruna’s story is not unique. The episode also covers the case of Annie Lucia Lopez Beloza, a Babson College freshman and DACA recipient who was detained at Logan Airport and deported to Honduras just days before Thanksgiving, despite being in the process of legalizing her status. Her dreams of opening a business and pursuing an education were shattered by an old deportation order she didn’t know existed.
Hinderman draws attention to the cruelty of targeting young immigrants and college students, quoting a disgraced Border Patrol commander who openly admitted the intention to reclaim university spots for “white Americans.”
“It’s absolutely disgusting how mask off these people are being now. Historically, smart foreigners… is how we made it to the top to begin with.”
Legal Response and the Fight for Justice
Both Bruna and Annie share the same attorney, who is fighting to defend their rights and shed light on the abuses of the immigration system. The lawyer is launching a nonprofit, Mass Deportation Defense, to stand up against these “rogue” detentions, emphasizing the importance of due process for all.
“If you have due process for some, you have due process for none.”
He also rejects the suggestion that Bruna should “self-deport,” explaining that doing so would bar her from re-entering the U.S. for a decade and destroy her ability to co-parent her son.
Conclusion: A Broken System and a Call to Action
The cases of Bruna and Annie illustrate the broken, inefficient, and often cruel reality of America’s immigration system under the Trump administration. With family ties, legal status, and basic rights disregarded, the need for reform and vigilance has never been greater.
