Escándalo en Brasil: dos influencers se grabaron mientras les regalaban una banana y un mono a nenes negros

Las influencers Kerollen Cunha Ferreira y Nancy Gonçalves Cunha Ferreira, madre e hija, fueron condenadas a 12 años de cárcel por la Justicia de Río de Janeiro por un episodio de racismo que sacudió a Brasil: en un video viral, ofrecieron una banana y un mono de peluche a dos nenes negros en tono de burla.
La jueza Simone de Faria Ferraz, del tribunal Criminal de São Gonçalo, consideró que las acusadas “animalizaron” a los chicos y “monetizaron el dolor” de las víctimas, de 9 y 10 años, que sufrieron bullying tras la publicación del video.

El fallo determinó que ambas deberán pagar 20 mil reales (3600 dólares) de indemnización a cada una de las víctimas, además de cumplir una pena de prisión.
Las mujeres, que viven en Río, tienen más de un millón de seguidores en Instagram y 13 millones de suscriptores en TikTok. “El delito perdura en el tiempo y adquiere proporciones verdaderamente monstruosas cuando publicaron, sin piedad ni respeto, sus reacciones inmaduras e inocentes en redes sociales», afirmó la jueza acerca de lo que sufrieron las víctimas
Un caso que expuso el “racismo recreativo” y la humillación pública
El episodio ocurrió cuando las influencers abordaron a los niños en la calle y, entre risas, les dieron a elegir entre dinero o un regalo sorpresa.
Al abrir el paquete y encontrarse con una banana, el primer chico responde “¿Eso es todo?”, manifestó su disgusto y se fue.
En otra grabación, la mujer detuvo a una nena y le hizo una propuesta similar: le ofreció 5 reales o una caja. La nena eligió el “regalo”, abrió la caja, vio que era un mono de peluche, abrazó feliz al juguete y le agradeció a la influencer.

El video fue presentado como contenido humorístico en redes sociales, lo que para la magistrada constituyó un claro caso de “racismo recreativo”, ya que tanto la banana como el mono son símbolos históricamente asociados con estereotipos racistas.

La sentencia también prohíbe a las condenadas publicar contenidos similares y mantener contacto con las víctimas. Una vez que la condena quede firme, se librarán órdenes de detención.
El impacto en las víctimas y la reacción de la Justicia
La jueza subrayó que el nene que recibió la banana fue llamado “mono” en la escuela y abandonó su sueño de ser futbolista. La niña, por su parte, terminó aislada y necesitó apoyo psicológico.
Durante el juicio, las influencers intentaron justificar sus actos diciendo que no tenían intención de ofender y que solo seguían una “trend” de TikTok.

Nancy Gonçalves declaró que no sabía qué era el racismo y que solo quería “alegrar a los chicos”. Kerollen Cunha dijo que recién entendió la gravedad de lo ocurrido cuando el video generó repudio en redes sociales.
La jueza rechazó de lleno las excusas de las influencers: “Nada podría ser más absurdo que sugerir que en estos tiempos de conocimiento inmediato y de fácil acceso, las acusadas desconocían lo que es el racismo. Las acusadas no vivían en una tribu aislada, sin redes sociales, lejos de todo y de todos, absortas en sí mismas. ¡No, no! Se ganaban la vida, precisamente a través de publicaciones en internet».
Un fallo con peso simbólico y jurídico
Los abogados de las familias celebraron la sentencia y destacaron que “las infancias negras no pueden ser objeto de humillación recreativa y que el racismo estructural debe encontrar resistencia efectiva en el Poder Judicial”. Consideraron que el fallo es un “hito simbólico y jurídico” que busca “transformar la memoria de impunidad en un compromiso real con la igualdad y la dignidad humana”.

El abogado de las influencers anunció que apelarán la condena
El abogado Mário Jorge dos Santos Tavares, que representa a las influencers, manifestó su respeto por la Justicia pero adelantó que apelarán la condena ante el Tribunal de Justicia de Río de Janeiro. Sostuvo que sus defendidas “siempre colaboraron con el proceso y confían en que la Justicia reconocerá su inocencia”.
Por ahora, ambas podrán esperar el resultado del recurso en libertad, pero la sentencia marca un precedente en la lucha contra el racismo en Brasil.

Lawsuits threaten to upend Alligator Alcatraz operations

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Trump administration’s migrant detention center in the Everglades has become the subject of two lawsuits, which are threatening to derail the facility’s operations as the government employs novel tactics to crack down on immigration enforcement.
The new facility, nicknamed Alligator Alcatraz, is facing allegations that its hundreds of detainees are unable to properly communicate with lawyers, did not have access to an immigration court until recently and are living in inhumane conditions.
A second lawsuit alleges that the makeshift detention center, made up of tents and trailers and surrounded by wetlands and wildlife, is also being built unlawfully within a sensitive habitat for endangered species.
TRUMP SAYS ONLY WAY OUT OF ‘ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ’ IS DEPORTATION

Ron DeSantis, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem walk through a medical facility section as they tour a migrant detention center, dubbed «Alligator Alcatraz,» located at the site of the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in Ochopee, Florida on July 1, 2025.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which brought the first complaint on behalf of several detained migrants, saw a small setback Monday night when Judge Rodolfo Ruiz said its claims should have been brought in the Middle District of Florida rather than in the Southern District.
Ruiz, a Trump appointee, said the case must be transferred to that district, finding that the alleged violations occurred at the facility, which is located in Collier County, about 50 miles from Miami.
The ACLU, along with other groups, argued in their lawsuit that some detainees were not given the ability to communicate confidentially with an attorney and that up until recently, the Trump administration had not designated any immigration court as having jurisdiction over the detained migrants, of which there were about 700.

«This is an unprecedented situation where hundreds of detainees are held incommunicado, with no ability to access the courts, under legal authority that has never been explained and may not exist,» the plaintiffs’ attorneys wrote.
Although not part of their legal claims, the attorneys said their clients were being held in «harsh and inhumane conditions» that included one meal per day, no access to daily showers, excessive force by guards and a lack of medical care. They are «kept around the clock in a cage inside a tent,» the attorneys said.
The Department of Homeland Security, which is working in coordination with the state of Florida to build Alligator Alcatraz, disputed claims by detainees of poor conditions.

«Here are the facts: Alligator Alcatraz does meet federal detention standards,» DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said. «All detainee facilities are clean. Any allegations of inhumane conditions are FALSE. When will the media stop peddling hoaxes about illegal alien detention centers and start focusing on American victims of illegal alien crime?»
Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, has said the facility is designed to be temporary and a means of alleviating the burden on other detention centers. DeSantis has said he hopes Alligator Alcatraz, which was constructed on an airport, will be a «force multiplier» for Trump’s aggressive deportation agenda.

In a separate case, Judge Kathleen Williams, an Obama appointee, is considering whether Alligator Alcatraz should be halted for violating the National Environmental Policy Act.
Williams placed a 14-day hold on all construction of the facility, but that order is set to expire Aug. 21. The judge vowed to issue another order by that date, saying the temporary harm to the government caused by pausing construction was not as great as the harm that would be caused if she found a lack of compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
