Detention of Brazilian actress Renata Mietto

Overview

Brazilian actress Renata Mietto, who has resided in the United States since 2016, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on August 27 at a Los Angeles airport. Her family reports that she lost her legal residency status approximately two years ago due to incorrect legal advice.

Following her initial arrest, Mietto was held in Los Angeles and later transferred to Adelanto, California. After a court denied her request to remain free during legal proceedings on September 18, she was transferred to El Paso, Texas. Her mother, Márcia Alves dos Reis, has alleged that Mietto suffered mistreatment during detention, including inadequate food and difficult transport conditions, resulting in weight loss.

Mietto is currently awaiting voluntary departure. While a court has authorized her release on the condition that she returns to Brazil, a specific date for her departure has not been established.
