The member of the House of US Representatives Rich McCormick of the Republican Party said Minister Alexandre de Moraes’s allies of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) should be the next to suffer sanctions from Donald Trump’s government.
“The Trump administration sanctioned Alexandre de Moraes based on the global magnitsky law. A serious human and corrupt violating, justice is finally being done. Its allies will be the next. OFAC [Escritório de Controle de Ativos Estrangeiros dos EUA] It will apply the law with all the rigor, “wrote the deputy on X.
The Republican Congressman stressed that he and other deputies insisted for months asking for sanctions from the Trump government against those who consider human rights violators in Brazil. In February, McCormick had already expressed his position by criticizing Brazil’s political situation and trial against former President Jair Bolsonaro.
At the time, he said former President Jair Bolsonaro was the victim of political persecution of the STF minister. Still, the Republican accused the magistrate of “arm the judiciary to defraud the 2026 elections, silenced the opposition and protecting President Lula.”
The US Treasury Department sanctioned Moraes based on magnitsky law on Wednesday. US legislation allows the White House to apply sanctions against accused of human rights violation and corruption worldwide.
