Legal dispute between Brazil and U.S. entities

Overview

The Brazilian Office of the Attorney General (AGU) has requested the dismissal of a lawsuit filed in a Florida federal court against Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The legal action was initiated by the video platform Rumble and Trump Media & Technology Group, who are seeking to block judicial orders issued by Moraes that included restrictions on Rumble’s operations in Brazil and daily fines.

The plaintiffs argue these actions constitute censorship and violate U.S. constitutional guarantees. In response, the AGU argues that the lawsuit targets the Brazilian state rather than Moraes personally and maintains that the judicial decisions are sovereign acts protected by immunity under U.S. law. The AGU also noted that the contested decisions were endorsed by a collegiate body of five STF ministers.
