How did they even know he wasn’t ice? That’s exactly what they look like and how they behave.
Plus why doesn’t he just sign up if he wants to be a racist/fascist idiot? That way he can keep doing exactly what he’s doing but he’d be paid for it.

When have you ever seen just one ICE agent?

I think he already knew that was a most possible outcome, but by the time he’s apprehended, the fear must have already spread and damage already done. Especially, with how fast the word spreads these days.
People would be afraid to get out and be confronted for nothing, possibly leading to ruining their life and career.
In Miami, FL, USA there was a Brazilian election being held where Brazilians were voting.
One could be a citizen of Brazil and be in Miami during an election and wish to cast their vote.
Sure, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard of a polling place being setup in a foreign country.

some countries allow citizens in foreigb countries to vote, to that they often have agreements with local goverments to setup the election stuff, some countries like hungary allow even non citzens to vote, in hungary’s case they allow all hungarian diaspora in nearby countries to vote

Same here. I looked it up and apparently Brazil mandates voting even if you don’t live in the country.
If you don’t vote they can refuse to grant or extend your passport:
In Brazil, people who fail to vote in an election are barred from obtaining a passport and subject to other restrictions until settling their situation before an electoral court or after they have voted in the two most recent elections.

So polling places are a necessity in places with large numbers of Brazilians.
Didn’t know they had compulsory voting. Interesting idea.

Not a necessity. I doubt all Brazillians in the US are traveling to those dozen or so cities they have polling places in.
Mail in voting is all I’ve ever heard of for overseas voting, though I pretty much only know about how the US runs elections.

in brazil’s case, mail in voting is not allowed at all, all voting must be done physically at public buildings or private schools which are mandated to contribute their space to the voting proceedures, all citizens to vote must come to the building and room they were assigned to months in advance, you wait in line in front of your room, one can cast a explicit blank vote or an invalid one which is called null vote, both are independly and accounted and you can see in the results, ever since this election showing a ID card with a photo is required to vote, with drivers license and the national ID (locally called RG, registro geral, or in englisb would be general register) are valid for this purpose

Well, I’d assume the polling places are in locations with many Brazilians around.
As far as I know many countries allow citizens to vote in person in their embassies. International mail can take ages to arrive and if you want your vote have high odds of being counted having embassies send a bag of votes through their priority diplomatic mail is the safest bet.
With the US being quite big and hosting a large Brazilian diaspora, it makes sense to have a couple polling stations in major hubs. It looks like the polling places are in cities with Brazilian consulates anyway.
But with 2,000,000 Brazilians in the US, the consulates probably don’t have the capacity to host the vote. It’s probably just a minority voting in-person anyway but still.

You have to vote but you can also justify your absence or just pay the extremely cheap fine, which is more of a hassle than voting but not always

Oh yeah because forcing people to vote has definitely prevented shitheads from becoming president /s

So you’re saying the real story should be Florida impersonating Brazil!
