Harvard Law School professor Carlos Portugal Gouvea has agreed to return to Brazil after pleading guilty to firing an air rifle outside a Boston synagogue on the eve of Yom Kippur. Gouvea, who claimed he was 'hunting rats' and not targeting the Jewish community, was charged with illegal use of the weapon and placed on leave by Harvard. The incident led to the revocation of his visa and his arrest by immigration authorities, with officials citing concerns over anti-Semitism. The case unfolded as Harvard faced scrutiny and funding cuts from the Trump administration over its handling of discrimination allegations on campus.
