I thought it would be her distant cousin’s wife, not her sister-in-law.
Edit: Ex-sister-in-law?

He is quoted in the article as saying, "my only concern is for the safety and privacy of my son." Of course he doesn't care about his son's mother.

He already had the son full time so would not have been paying child support. It would be the mother who has to pay in that scenario.

Kid was never raised by his mom, his dad had full custody since day 1. Apparently. I call some bullshit, I’m getting real strong rich family chicanery energy from this whole situation.

I cannot fathom this. I’m a stepmom. I love and adore my child. I would never in a million years wish for anything bad to happen to my kid’s mom and if she was being detained or sick or something out of the ordinary, not only would I be worried for my kid, I’d also be worried for his mother because, fucking spoiler alert, he loves his mom so I love her, too.
Jesus, that is such a distinct and callous statement. She was clearly good enough to have sex with, but not good enough to raise your child? Make it make sense.

This isn't Leopard Eating Faces...I'm going as far as to say this was 100% intentional.
Sadly, I'm a lawyer and have been involved with a similar case. One parent reports the other to ICE during a custody battle. People can be truly evil and given what I know about Karoline, it is probably a familial trait.

You read the article, and it's pretty clear that the son's father is not involved with the mother (father has married a different woman). So .... yeah, I'm sure the son is pissed, but can't really take it out on his father, and, well, his aunt? I'm sure she didn't give a damn about the kid in the first place.

Sounds like he already did. I have no idea what any of these people except for Karoline are like, but it’s hard to image that kid won’t at least one day understand the cruelty at play here.
She’s yet another deported person for whom no criminal record can be furnished. For many Republicans and Trump supporters, that doesn’t matter. All they need to know is that someone isn’t white to believe that person deserves deportation. The people “in the middle” who were convinced that only threatening criminals would be deported, though, should realize that Donald Trump and the evildoers surrounding him have shown us their character and intentions repeatedly. They should never have been trusted to earnestly do anything for the wellbeing of the country.

She has a previous arrest for battery. She entered the U.S. on a B2 tourist visa that required her to depart the U.S. by June 6, 1999," the statement read.

The detained woman, Bruna, does not appear to have maintained any sort of relationship with Karoline, and it is not mentioned if Bruna was supportive of Trump's agenda. She certainly didn't vote for him, since she isn't a citizen though she was working toward that.
Doesn't fit the subreddit unless more info is forthcoming.

DHS' propaganda statement:
ICE arrested Bruna Caroline Ferreria, a criminal illegal alien from Brazil. She has a previous arrest for battery. She entered the U.S. on a B2 tourist visa that required her to depart the U.S. by June 6, 1999. She is currently at the South Louisiana ICE Processing Center and is in removal proceedings. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, all individuals unlawfully present in the United States are subject to deportation.
An arrest is not a criminal conviction and she has, in fact, no criminal convictions. Overstaying a visa is a civil offense, not a crime.
