Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) called on the Biden administration and local authorities in Florida on Sunday to send back to Brazil its former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, whose supporters stormed the country’s Congress and Supreme Court.
“[Bolsonaro] should be extradited to Brazil,” Castro said to CNN’s Jim Acosta. “In fact, it was reported that he was under investigation for corruption and fled Brazil to the United States. He’s a dangerous man, they should send him back to his home country, Brazil”
Bolsonaro flew to Florida in late December as he faced multiple investigations from his time in office, according to the New York Times. Bolsonaro, who lost his bid for reelection in October, did not completely concede to the newly elected Brazil President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Thousands Bolsonaro’s supporters broke into Brazil’s Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace Sunday to protest the results of the election. Castro, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, compared the country’s protests to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, which hit its two-year anniversary mark on Friday.
“Bolsonaro was an authoritarian leader, and I stand with the democratically elected leadership in Brazil,” he said. “He basically used the Trump playbook to inspire domestic terrorists to try to take over the government.”
“Bolsonaro should not be in Florida,” he added. “The United States should not be a refuge for this authoritarian, who has inspired domestic terrorism in Brazil. He should be sent back to Brazil.”

Far right?
Or just not communist enough for this libtard?
I think Bolsonaro has done everything possible to remove himself from the Brazil ‘mess’. Those lingering questions about a fair/correct election aren’t going away, and in Brazil’s case....it won’t be like the 6 Jan ‘truth-commission’ situation. They could easily fall into a coup situation in a matter of a month.
Obama, via Biden, could very well send him back. “Political Persecution” suddenly wouldn’t count for him for alien status.
Imagine if Democrats ever had concerns for America and Americans
Rep Castro is shit even by rat party standards.
The country has a nasty Rat infestation
Extradite Joaquin to Brazil. Specifically the Amazon jungles . . .
If it was Fidel or Che, he would be screaming about why we would not give them amnesty and immediate citizenship!
This guy for a supposed Texan is a pure piece of shit.
Why in gods name did he flee here? It’s a near guarantee the FBI will arrest him in some trumped up charges, probably involving drug smuggling or something.
Whatever Florida County he’s in, should declare itself a “Sanctuary-County” for election deniers.
“F”ING CASTRO is thinking about a run for 2024, SCREW HIM!
Joaquin Castro should be kicked back to Cuba. He shoud be the first one deported. /spit
It’s worst than I thought. Joaquin Castro is a second generation Mexican, which means his parents were illegal aliens and he is an anchor baby.
Who the hell is he to be demanding deportations when he himself is not a real American citizen.
He backed Trump is probably why. Anybody who backs Trump in any way, even if you let him cut in front of you at the grocery, should be punished.
And his mother is a communist, so is his worthless P.O.S. brother, and so is he for that matter.
I love Texas, but we have some of the worst bottom feeders in the country as elected officials.
“Texas Democrat calls for US authorities to extradite Bolsonaro back to Brazil”
Not sure why Bolsonaro even came to the US, considering that we were always going to side with the Communist (Lula, in this case).
The only people who should be called “far right” are those who engage in or advocate violence to get their way. Instead, leftist propagandist hacks throw it on anybody who opposes the criminal left.
The junta that runs The New United States after the 2020 coup is going full Third World.
Any enemy of the new world order will be hunted and imprisoned, or killed.
Like his Mother
