Jair Bolsonaro Hospitalized in Florida as U.S. Lawmakers Demand His Extradition to Brazil
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in the United States, a group of Democratic congressmembers,
including Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, are urging President
Biden to expel Bolsonaro from the U.S. The far-right leader has been
staying in Orlando, Florida, after he fled Brazil ahead of the
inauguration of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva last week. Bolsonaro
faces at least four criminal probes in Brazil. He was admitted to a
Florida hospital Monday after complaining of intestinal pain - one day
after his supporters stormed government buildings in Brasília.
