Bolsonaro’s son Eduardo, who lives in the US, said on Thursday that the former intelligence chief was “out and home”.
In a post on social media, he thanked US President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for “the sensitivity with which they dealt with this true national hero, who does not give up even when he is being persecuted”.
Referencing Ramagem’s reported request for sanctuary in the US, Bolsonaro added that the ex-spy chief deserved being granted “asylum in the land of liberty”.
Brazilian media reported he had been let go on Wednesday.
ICE has not commented on his release following his detention in Orlando, Florida.
