Glamorous Coachella-bound Beauty Queen is Deported while trying to travel to festival
A former Brazilian beauty queen was deported from the United States after customs agents deemed she was a threat to the country's national security.Francielly Ouriques was connecting at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on April 10 for a flight to California to attend the 2025 Coachella festival when she was intercepted by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents.
In a video posted on social media earlier this week, Ouriques said that she was escorted to a room for a secondary inspection and underwent questioning.
She revealed that one of the reasons that led to her removal was that she was carrying luggage for a friend.
While searching through her purse, customs agents found four tablets of Tramal – a severe pain medication – that is considered illegal in the United States.
Ouriques explained that she spent five hours in a room with other foreign travelers who were pulled to the side as CBP agents inspected her smart phone before finally ruling that her tourist visa would be revoked.
'They claimed that I was suspected of illegal job in the United States and that I was an threat to the country,' she said.

Brazilian influencer and three-time beauty queen Francielly Ouriques had her visa revoked and was Deported from the United States on April 10 after U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents pulled her over at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, where she was connecting to a flight to California to attend the Coachella festival
Ouriques revealed that she had visited the United States in 2024 with a former boyfriend and that they had spoken about opening a business together.
The agents, Ouriques said, discovered messages from her month-long stay and her conversations with a company regarding her visa status.
'So my access was denied in the United States, and my visa was going to be canceled,' she said.
Ouriques said she was holed up inside a freezing, three-square-foot cell for 15 hours and was only given a bottle of water and box meal.
Ouriques was transported in a CBP vehicle to a United Airlines terminal for her return flight to Brazil and was not handed her passport until the flight landed.
The model approached Brazil's Federal Police for counsel on how to deal with the deportation, but she was told that it was out of their jurisdiction.
