Woke Rep. Seth Moulton, a Massachusetts Democrat, invited 19-year-old Brazilian-born immigrant Marcelo Gomes da Silva, who was previously detained by ICE after his student visa expired, to attend President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address as his guest. Gomes, took his seat in the House visitors’ gallery, seemingly used as a political prop.
Midway through Trump’s speech, however, the Department of Homeland Security posted on X that Moulton was “planning to bring illegal alien Marcelo Gomes da Silva” and declared that he “has no right to be in our nation” and is subject to arrest and removal, echoing an earlier DHS message accusing Democrats of “planning to bring illegal aliens as guests to the State of the Union” and “putting illegal aliens above the safety of American citizens.” After seeing the post and noting the heavy law-enforcement presence in the chamber, Moulton’s chief of staff Neesha (also reported as Nisha) Suarez quietly escorted Gomes out of the gallery “out of an abundance of caution” and brought him back to the congressman’s office.
From there, the “special guest” watched the remainder of the address on television. Moulton has said he invited Gomes because he sees him as exactly the kind of young person the United States should be investing in, while DHS officials have insisted in interviews and statements that Gomes “is still an illegal alien and subject to removal proceedings.”
