Brazil revokes US officer's data access

Brazil's Federal Police has revoked the credentials that allowed a U.S. immigration officer based in Brasilia to access some of its data. The police chief cited a similar move made by the U.S. government as the reason for the action. This tit-for-tat measure signals a diplomatic friction over data-sharing protocols between the two nations. The specific data systems involved and the U.S. action that prompted the Brazilian response were not detailed in the announcement.
