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.

As if he does not have enough headaches right now, he’s got this legal issue?
Amazing how so much bad news explodes for him within a few days.
Another slow motion, underwater ‘investigation’ has begun!
Welcome to the Club.
The rumor is that party officials warned him not to enter the race because it would split the vote. He ignored them. Now he’s reaping the whirlwind.
Release the Fang Fang files !!
Swalwell is a dirtbag.
Now?! NOW you finally open an investigation?!
I hope he falls well.
HIS CAMPAIGN RECORDS SHOW HE PAID HIS WIFE TO “WATCH THEIR CHILDREN”
This sounds like the plot line to a 1970s porno.
Wasn’t this the guy, that while in Congress and serving on some national security related committee, couldn’t keep his thing out of a CHICOM spy?
No big deal. He’s a Democrat!
“Amazing how so much bad news explodes for him within a few days.”
Someone powerful wanted him politically neutered.
Nanny bang bang.
The entire political establishment - which I believe has known all these various allegations for some time, has just now, in a bipartisan effort, decided to knock off Swalwell. Is it a joint endeavor?? Is it all about reducing the split Dim vote in the stupid general (no party) primary election for California Governor?? If so, why is the GOP in on it??
“ Nanny bang bang”
“Nanny.” Yeah, right.
He likely demanded payment to take a dive like Bernie Sanders did for Hillary Clinton.
The Democrat handlers will crush him out to make an example of him to any other candidate who wants a payoff to take a dive like Bernie Sanders did.
So, now we come to the question, ‘what was the nanny REALLY for, or rather, WHO was the nanny for?’
wink wink, eh Swalwell???
Meanwhile, also from CA...

California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown.
The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America.
Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali “Learing” Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California.
The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who “rule” over us.
