Just a few days after the Bolsonaro movement had a crushing, national victory in Brazil's democratic election, Brazil's notorious judge Alexandre de Moraes -- whose impeachment and perhaps prosecution the Bolsonaro movement is seeking -- issued an arrest warrant for Bolsonaro's son, Eduardo, who was a member of Congress but fled to the US after Moraes ordered him imprisoned for appealing to the US Government for help with Moraes' persecution. Moraes has now ordered Bolsonaro's son immediately arrested and to begin serving his prison term even though he's living legally in the US. An obvious escalation that tries to put the US in the middle of the Supreme Court's ongoing war against basic rights and democratic processes in Brazil.
