To whom it may concern at @DHSOIG,
As a Brazilian-American journalist, I am respectfully requesting clarification regarding the case of Filipe Martins, former National Security Advisor to President Jair Bolsonaro.
- Mr. Martins was imprisoned for more than six months and remains under house arrest - all based on a fraudulent U.S. immigration record.
- The alleged trip was on December 30, 2022, yet the I-94 record used to justify his imprisonment only appeared in the U.S. immigration system in April 2024 - six months later, while he was already in custody. The document contained a canceled passport number, an incorrect visa classification, and a misspelled name.
- Evidence suggests that U.S. Department of Homeland Security systems were tampered with to fabricate this record during the tenure of Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, under the Biden administration.
- On October 10, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officially confirmed that Mr. Martins never entered the United States. The agency condemned the misuse of the fraudulent record by Brazilian authorities and announced an internal investigation. (๐ป๐๐๐โ๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐ ๐กโ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ก๐ก๐๐: https://t.co/1XJ0OGVK0H )
- Filipe Martins has become a national symbol of political persecution in Brazil, with his case dominating both headlines and social media. Now, Brazilโs Federal Police are targeting lawyers, journalists - including American journalists like myself - and anyone who dares to question the fraud or ongoing investigations. This is not an effort to correct what happened, but rather a clear attempt to conceal it.
- The public deserves full transparency and accountability. Who inserted a fraudulent record into DHS systems - and for what purpose?
โผ๏ธ Thank you for your attention to this matter. Given the nature of this case, it also constitutes a matter of U.S. national security.
