Harvard Professor Agrees to Leave US After Firing BB Gun Outside Synagogue

A Harvard Law School professor is leaving the U.S. voluntarily after his visa was revoked following an incident in October outside a synagogue, the Department of Homeland Security said.

Carlos Portugal Gouvea, a citizen of Brazil, was arrested after he fired a BB gun outside a Temple Beth Zion synagogue the day before Yom Kippur.

Gouvea said he was “hunting rats,” the Department of Homeland Security said.
