US declares former Abin director Ramagem illegal, begins deportation

The move escalates bilateral friction between the US and Brazil, as Ramagem is a close ally of former President Jair Bolsonaro and faces legal scrutiny in Brazil. The deportation process adds a new layer to ongoing political and legal tensions involving Bolsonaro-era figures.
