The Department of Homeland Security is investigating allegations that embattled lefty California Rep. Eric Swalwell illegally employed a Brazilian nanny, officials said.
Swalwell allegedly hired the nanny for his children and she continued to work for the family after her work authorization permit expired in 2022, the California Post exclusively revealed.
DHS is now investigating after the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) referred the case to the department, Politico reported.
“USCIS has been collecting information on the allegations involving Congressman Eric Swalwell hiring of a Brazilian national as a nanny without lawful work authorization,” DHS spokesperson Lauren Bis confirmed in a statement to the outlet. “These allegations are serious. USCIS has referred this matter to DHS law enforcement for investigation.
“Federal law prohibits employers from knowingly hiring aliens who are not authorized to work in the United States,” Bis continued. “No employer, including a member of Congress, is above the law.”
The DHS received a complaint in February alleging the nanny, Amanda Barbosa, “appears in numerous social media photos with the Swalwell family throughout 2023 and 2024, indicating continued close association and ongoing childcare responsibilities despite the absence of known lawful work authorization.”
The congressman hired Barbosa, 33, to look after his three children in 2021.

Thy name is Pelosi.
I bet the “nanny” was taking real good care of “Little Eric” ...
Likes to wear diapers, does he?
Just announced that he is resigning from Congress also. Lesson learned is that when you can no longer be a useful idiot for them, then they will destroy you, like a spider eating its young.
Why not DOJ?
And maybe he knows there is more stuff out there which will get released unless he falls on his sword.
