BRASILIA, April 20 (Reuters) – The U.S. government has asked Brazilian security attache Marcelo Ivo de Carvalho to leave the United States, the U.S. Embassy in the South American country said on Monday.
De Carvalho, who acts as a liaison with U.S. immigration enforcement, has been based in Miami.
The move comes after ICE last week briefly detained Brazilian intelligence chief Alexandre Ramagem, who fled Brazil in September following his conviction for plotting a coup with ex-President Jair Bolsonaro, a political ally of Donald Trump.
