The Trump admin imposed sanctions on a Brazilian supreme court justice because he is overseeing prosecution of far-right US puppet Jair Bolsonaro who launched a failed coup attempt after he lost the 2022 election to Lula. This has nothing to do with "free speech". That's the cynical talking point that the US is using to justify its blatant violation of Brazil's sovereignty. What is actually happening is the Trump admin is trying to shield Brazil's far-right coup leader from legal consequences for his crimes because Bolsonaro"
