Her brother sicced ICE on the mom for child custody.

Yup. His quote gives him away.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 56 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So basically her brother had his (ex?) wife arrested by ice just so the fuck face could get child custody

Man, what a "wonderful" family that is, one big collection of psychopaths

That kid never stood a chance, being born into that family

Having a country where law and neutrality don't apply gives a lot of opportunities like this.

This isn't funny. That was one of the good ones!

The woman is Leavitt's nephew's mother but is estranged from her child. She has no real relationship to Leavitt.

The real story here is that she was a DACA kid with one arrest for battery, the legal outcome of which is unclear. Obviously "the worst of the worst".

Leavitt's nephew's mother... So, her former sister in law?

[–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Maybe not even that. Former girlfriend of Leavitt's brother? Former one-night-stand of Leavitt's brother? The article is unclear in a way that is either purposeful or ignorant. I'm not sure which.

I don’t think that’s correct I’ve read accounts stating she was involved in the child’s life. What I read was that the brother and her were engaged until he won a million dollars from Draft Kings. Her family put up a go fund me but I’d be skeptical that the Leavitt family A) didn’t have anything to do with this and B) didn’t screw her over because they could afford an attorney and she couldn’t. Our system isn’t exactly fair https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-brunas-fight-to-stay-home

Oh, I have no doubt that the Leavitt's might use ICE as a weapon against someone inconvenient. The article makes nothing clear, though.

The woman’s actual family put up a go fund me. I personally think slimy white trash kkkaroline was very much involved in this. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-brunas-fight-to-stay-home

So what? should we cry? go f*** self karoline! You and you president destroyed the world just for your pleasure! Why you don't speak about Gaza anymore? How you didn't stop the war! Not to mention the Ukraine-Russia war, where you gonna once again celebrate the fake peace! But I guess, you don't care.

This woman is an ex of Leavitt's brother and the mother of his child. She also happens to have brown skin. It looks a lot like they're using ICE to go after family members they don't like, likely to solve a pesky custody issue.
