Brazilian journalist Rogério Tomaz Jr. claims to have been prevented from entering Argentina on Monday (12) after landing at Aeroparque airport, in Buenos Aires.

According to Agência Brasil, the immigration authorities determined the cancellation of the professional's permanent residence in the country and established a ban on re-entry for a period of five years.

Tomaz is known for criticizing President Javier Milei's government and said he suspected political motivation for the decision.

"I'm very proud of the path I chose and built in my life. Being deported, due to my political criticism, by a government of narcos, pedophiles, cryptocurrency thieves and attackers of retirees is practically a trophy," he said upon disembarking at Guarulhos Airport. "In Brazil (still) there is democracy, but we are at serious risk of becoming Argentina."

He had resided in Argentina since 2022, valid until 2037. The DNM (National Directorate of Migrations), however, claimed that he did not stay long enough in the country to maintain the benefit.

The journalist states that he frequently traveled to Argentina and this year spent 36 days in the country.

Between July and August this year, he argued on social media with supporters of Milei's government and with Juan Pablo Carreira, known as Juan Doe, influencer and director of Digital Communications for the Argentine presidency.

"Bye, fat lulista. Expelled, hahaha", wrote Doe on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday.

Tomaz lives in Brasília and produces content critical of the economic and social measures adopted by Milei. He foresees the release of a book about the Argentine president's government in 2027.

The communicator had traveled to the neighboring country to collect data on the local economic and political situation.

The Union of Professional Journalists of the Federal District and Fenaj (National Federation of Journalists) repudiated the revocation of the residence visa and the deportation of the Brazilian.

For both entities, the decision constitutes an act of political retaliation and disrespect for freedom of expression and the right to come and go.

"Argentine and Brazilian democracy deserve respect. No government has the right to persecute, detain or expel journalists for the simple exercise of their profession", says a note from the union and Fenaj.

Open Questions

  • ?Will there be a formal legal challenge to the deportation?
  • ?Will the Brazilian government issue an official diplomatic note?

Brazilian journalist critical of Milei is deported from Argentina

Brazilian journalist Rogério Tomaz Jr. had his permanent residence in Argentina canceled and was banned from re-entering the country for five years upon landing in Buenos Aires. He suspects political motivation due to recent clashes with supporters of the Milei government on social media, although immigration authorities based the decision on a 2025 decree that allows cancellation for non-compliance with residence conditions. Tomaz states that he continued traveling to Argentina and that, in 2026, he spent 36 days in the country. The DF Journalists Union and Fenaj repudiated the measure.
