'Bolsonaro gang' swears together from refuge Florida against Brazil

Three days after losing the presidential election to Lula, Bolsonaro arrived in Miami with his family, having taken a controversial route via Argentina and Ecuador. He was not allowed to leave Brazil due to a corruption investigation, which invalidated his passport upon departure. This makes him an asylum seeker in the U.S., where he may soon receive permanent residency from Trump. Bolsonaro thanked Trump for his hospitality and declared his intention to lead opposition from the U.S. Experts note that Trump's support for Bolsonaro aligns with his goal of expanding influence in Latin America. Meanwhile, Bolsonaro's political influence in Brazil may be waning as the radical right becomes divided. Other members of the Bolsonaro movement have also sought refuge in Florida, raising concerns about the U.S. asylum policy's hypocrisy.
