The model said she was handcuffed and transferred to an immigration detention center in Miami.
, where she was kept in a hall with more than 120 detainees, went days without sunlight, and “came out infested with lice.”"I will tear down your corrupt system, even if it’s the last thing I do in my life," Ungaro posted on X.
"I will go all the way—I am not afraid. Maybe you should be afraid of what I know … of who you are, and who your husband is." Her new claims arrived as the United States continues to face legal and political battles over the Trump administration's immigration enforcement, Ungaro’s previous proximity to the Trumps and to Italian modeling agent Paolo Zampolli—who denied involvement in her detention and was appointed last year by Trump to be special representative for global partnerships at the United Nations—gave the case heightened visibility and underscored tensions between personal networks and public policy.The model said she was handcuffed and transferred to an immigration detention center in Miami, where she “spent the whole day crying,” and saw an elderly detainee “handcuffed to a wheelchair.” She described another incident where a woman who miscarried “waited an agonizingly long time for medical care.”as “a hall with more than 120 people, the floor was wet, there were no windows, four days without seeing the sun… I came out infested with lice.”Ungaro and Zampolli have a long personal history and once moved in the same social circles as the Trumps, including New Year’s celebrations at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, according toZampolli, a modeling agent credited with introducing Melania to Trump, served as a special envoy during Trump’s first term and sits on the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees, the report said. Ungaro accused Zampolli, her former partner and the father of her son, of leveraging connections to have her moved intoZampolli said his “relationship with the biological mother of my son was very difficult," adding,"I stick around for my son because in Italy, normally you have a father and a mother,”, previously said the first lady “has no knowledge of, nor involvement in, the personal affairs of Mr. Zampoli and Ms. Ungaro.”It was not immediately clear whether Ungaro plans to pursue legal action in the U.S. or Brazil regarding her detention or deportation.
