Brazil Intervenes in Florida Lawsuit to Defend Judge's Immunity Over Censorship Orders Against Rumble
By
Cindy Harper
Summary
Brazil has formally intervened in Rumble's lawsuit against Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, arguing that the judge's orders to delete accounts of his political critics are shielded by judicial immunity — even if those orders violated Brazilian law. The case, filed in Florida federal court, pits the American video platform Rumble (along with Trump Media) against the Brazilian judge's censorship orders. Brazil hired an American law firm to defend the judge's actions, claiming sovereign and judicial immunity protect him from U.S. legal consequences. The U.S. District Judge allowed Brazil to intervene and has paused the motion to dismiss pending responses from Rumble and Trump Media.
