Bruna Ferreira, a 34-year-old Brazilian national who arrived in the U.S. as a child and held DACA protection, was arrested by ICE on November 12, 2025, while driving to pick up her son from school. An immigration judge granted her release on a $1,500 bond on December 8 after 26 days in detention across multiple facilities.

She remains in removal proceedings with mandatory periodic check-ins with ICE as conditions of her release.
