Hi everyone,
I’m opening this thread to share and investigate a disturbing case that could have serious implications for U.S. border security and the integrity of CBP systems.
Background:
It’s also important to note that Filipe Martins spent six months imprisoned in Brazil under highly questionable circumstances, including ten days in solitary confinement. His detention has been widely criticized as politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of judicial harassment against him. The fraudulent use of his canceled passport in the CBP system not only violates U.S. law but also contributed to justifying his unjust imprisonment in Brazil.
Allegations:
A source within the U.S. Senate says that a CBP officer may have intentionally disabled the system’s security alerts (the “watchlist” system) to allow this canceled passport to be processed without raising red flags.
Current Evidence:
Reference:
Key Questions for Websleuths:
Why this matters:
If a canceled passport can be used in the CBP system without triggering any alert, this poses a major national security risk. It raises the question of who else might be getting in and what other cases of political or criminal manipulation might exist.
What we’re hoping to do here:
Let’s keep this factual, well-sourced, and focused on getting to the bottom of how this could happen and who’s behind it.
Critical Follow-Up:
One important detail to highlight is the CBP initially confirmed that there was no entry record for Filipe in December 2022. Only after Filipe’s imprisonment in Brazil did this suspicious record appear in the system. Additionally, the entry record itself has multiple errors, including a misspelled name and other inconsistencies that strongly suggest tampering rather than a legitimate entry. These facts raise serious questions about how this fraudulent record was created and who had the ability to manipulate the CBP database to retroactively insert an entry that never happened.
Call to Action:
If anyone here has experience with CBP database access, manipulation of border entry logs, or past cases of political misuse of travel data, please share what you know. We’re especially looking for people familiar with CBP system logs (or related FOIA requests) that might help confirm how this record was inserted. Let’s work together to bring this to light and protect not just Filipe but anyone else who could be targeted by similar fraud in the future.
Thanks for any help or leads you can offer!
I’m opening this thread to share and investigate a disturbing case that could have serious implications for U.S. border security and the integrity of CBP systems.
Background:
- Who: Filipe Martins, a former Brazilian presidential advisor, has been under political persecution in Brazil.
- What’s proven: Despite having a canceled passport (number D8046761), there’s an official CBP record showing that he entered the U.S. in 2024.
- Why it’s suspicious: This passport was canceled globally and a new one was issued, making any entry using the old one impossible without direct manipulation of CBP systems.
It’s also important to note that Filipe Martins spent six months imprisoned in Brazil under highly questionable circumstances, including ten days in solitary confinement. His detention has been widely criticized as politically motivated and part of a broader pattern of judicial harassment against him. The fraudulent use of his canceled passport in the CBP system not only violates U.S. law but also contributed to justifying his unjust imprisonment in Brazil.
Allegations:
A source within the U.S. Senate says that a CBP officer may have intentionally disabled the system’s security alerts (the “watchlist” system) to allow this canceled passport to be processed without raising red flags.
Current Evidence:
- Logs exist that apparently confirm that the CBP’s alert system was bypassed.
- These logs have not been released to the public but insiders have confirmed their existence.
- Brazilian court records and travel data also confirm that Filipe never left Brazil physically during this supposed trip.

Key Questions for Websleuths:
- Has anyone seen or worked on cases involving CBP manipulation of entry logs or watchlist deactivation?
- Are there other instances where canceled passports were used in CBP systems without triggering alerts?
- What agencies (DHS OIG, DOJ, etc.) would be the best to contact for an investigation of this magnitude?
- How can we verify whether these logs are accurate (or find alternative ways to confirm CBP system logs for this period)?
Why this matters:
If a canceled passport can be used in the CBP system without triggering any alert, this poses a major national security risk. It raises the question of who else might be getting in and what other cases of political or criminal manipulation might exist.
What we’re hoping to do here:
- Gather historical precedents or similar cases.
- Share contacts or FOIA tips to obtain relevant logs.
- Map out how such an entry would be possible technically.
- Protect Filipe from further political persecution based on a fraudulent entry record.
