And just like that, the leopards jumped at MY face!

Pena uses his social networks to echo the stories of migrants as well as voices critical of Brazil’s leftwing president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, and those supportive of its recently jailed former far-right president Jair Bolsonaro, who is an ally of Trump.

The US’s estimated 2 million-strong Brazilian community has been badly affected by Trump’s anti-migrant offensive, with the number of deported Brazilians hitting a record high of 2,785 last year, compared with 1,640 in 2024.

Well, it is the story of migrants.

In a previous video, Pena reportedly urged Brazilians to stay calm and not “despair” after reports that ICE agents were rounding up migrants, including Brazilians. “But they’re all crooks. The lot of them,” he falsely claimed of the migrants being seized.

On Saturday, Pena was himself reportedly detained and sent to the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. One friend told the local newspaper the Brazilian Times that Pena had been taken into custody after missing a court hearing.

True journalism is not reporting the pulse but the movement of the heart. He's so close to the source because he's the problem.

In Germany we say tja and i think this is beautiful.

Leopard, meet face.

I'm not into getting joy from someone else's misery. But I do get joy from when democracy does work and people get exactly what they voted for.

On one hand he deserves it. On the other hand I don't want him sent back here.

But "I'm one of the good ones"

The Brazilian influencer has reportedly lived in the US since 2009

Wow.

It's hard to both love and hate the same thing. I hate that we are doing this to people, but if it is going to happen at least it is happening to assholes like this guy.

Jejejejeje motherfucker.

If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander!

Brazilian influencer who defended US immigration crackdown arrested by ICE Trump supporter Júnior Pena falsely claimed migrants being rounded up, including Brazilians, were ‘all crooks’

I'm willing to grant him an exception, not "all" but at least 1 from my count

Ha Haaa!

Foda-te sobrinho.

I guess he must be a "crook" then.

"Oh look, a leopard! That looks like my kind of leopard. I know will only bite off the faces of my enemies. Surely it won't eat my face!"

Leftwing Brazilians flocked to Pena’s Instagram account to taunt him after news of his detention went viral. “You supported Trump and in the end you suffered the consequences,” wrote one. “What goes around comes around,” a second critic posted.

Friends of the influencer posted messages asking his followers to pray.

I have such a headache.

Class traitor

That leopard is getting pretty full.

Whoops.

Way to go, Einstein!

Just another “worst of the worst” over here.

Fuck'em

“South American TikToker and Instagrammer whose account purports to show “the reality of the United States” from a migrant’s perspective.”

Looks like he nailed it.

the leopards are having a good day.

“I [support] Donald Trump – I like the guy,” announced the South American TikToker and Instagrammer whose account purports to show “the reality of the United States” from a migrant’s perspective.

In a previous video, Pena reportedly urged Brazilians to stay calm and not “despair” after reports that ICE agents were rounding up migrants, including Brazilians. “But they’re all crooks. The lot of them,” he falsely claimed of the migrants being seized.

On Saturday, Pena was himself reportedly detained and sent to the Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. One friend told the local newspaper the Brazilian Times that Pena had been taken into custody after missing a court hearing. The detainee’s lawyer, Andrew Lattarulo, was reportedly trying to resolve the situation and prevent him being transferred to another state.

I constantly wonder what these bootlickers think about after this whole experience.

Leopardo gordo 

"Bad boys, bad boys, whatchu gonna do?
Whatchu gonna do when they come for you?"

I must have lost my empathy. I can't find it anywhere.

I hope he gets deported like that first group: chained up and standing on a fucking cargo plane, I'm sure he'll understand the reason, being just another crook

Oh no, a leperd
