The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that Alexandre Ramagem, a former Brazilian federal deputy and former director of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin), is facing deportation proceedings due to irregular migratory status.

Ramagem entered the United States on September 11, 2025, under a six-month permit but remained after the period expired. While his legal team argues that a pending political asylum request grants him legal status, a DHS spokesperson rejected this, noting that a pending application does not provide legal standing.

Ramagem is considered a fugitive by the Brazilian judiciary following a Supreme Federal Court (STF) conviction of 16 years for attempted coup d'état. This deportation process is distinct from a formal extradition request submitted by the Brazilian government to the U.S. Department of State in December.
