🇧🇷🇺🇸 Four decoy cars, an Italian passport, a jet waiting across the Argentine border: how Flavio Bolsonaro slipped a Supreme Court travel ban and landed in Miami on a visa Trump signed off personally The Wall Street Journal has the route. Monday night his convoy left Brasília and split four ways while reporters chased the wrong cars; Tuesday his allies told the press he was already in Florida while he was still in Brazil, driving hundreds of miles to the triple frontier. At 10:50 p.m. he crossed the bridge into Puerto Iguazú with his wife and daughters, Argentine airport police escorted him to a Gulfstream that Trump adviser Jason Miller had helped charter, Milei's top aide watched from the ground in contact with Eduardo Bolsonaro, and the plane lifted off at 12:21 a.m. with Flavio flying on his Italian passport, refueled in Ecuador, and landed at Opa-locka at 9:30, where officers shielded the family with umbrellas. Trump approved the entry Tuesday, Rubio moved the visas, and the family came in on one-year humanitarian parole. If that sounds familiar, it’s because María Corina Machado ran the same play ten months ago: a wig and a false identity through ten of Maduro’s checkpoints, a fishing boat to Curaçao with Navy F-18s circling the route, a private jet to Oslo, and a thank-you to Washington once she was safe. Same machinery, same Trump circle, and the same kind of regime on the other end. Maduro had a travel ban and a fugitive warning waiting for Machado; Lula has Moraes, a judge who jailed the father for 27 years, sentenced the brother in absentia, took the son’s passports the morning after he lost, and sits on a police dossier tying him to the very banker scandal he’s prosecuting... and that's not even the tip of the iceberg on this guy. When a court like that orders you to stay home, leaving isn’t fleeing justice, it’s refusing to be the next Bolsonaro behind bars. Trump says the family was “treated very unfairly” but he “won’t get involved.” The plane says he already did, and that’s the right call. Source: Wall Street Journal / Writer: Daniel
