Story summary

Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, left Brazil for the United States after losing the presidential election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva on October 25, 2026. Despite a Supreme Federal Court order requiring him to surrender his passports, reports suggest he traveled unofficially and arrived in Florida. The U.S. State Department reportedly issued visas for Flávio and his family, allowing them entry into the country. His departure has drawn ridicule on social media and criticism from political analysts who view it as an attempt to maintain influence over Brazil's conservative camp.
