- Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family arrived in Miami on Wednesday after fleeing Brazil through Argentina and Ecuador.
- The departure occurred after Bolsonaro refused to concede the election to President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva while under investigation by Brazil's Supreme Court for alleged corruption, money laundering, and tax evasion.
- The Supreme Court had ordered Bolsonaro to surrender his passports by Tuesday following his election loss to Lula by approximately 4.4 million votes. U.S. President Donald Trump approved of the family's entry into the country after granting them visas, calling them fine people and questioning the election outcome.
- His father, Jair Bolsonaro, also fled to Florida after losing the 2022 presidential election to Lula before returning to Brazil three months later.
- Brazilian President Lula da Silva criticized the departure as shameful, while Bolsonaro's allies scheduled a press conference in Miami for Thursday.
