Russian scientist working at Harvard detained by Ice at Boston airport
On Wednesday, Cora Anderson, who works with the Russian scientist Kseniia Petrova, shared the news of Petrova’s detention on Facebook, saying the Russian scientist arrived at Boston Logan international airport on 16 February from a trip to France when she was stopped by US authorities.
According to Anderson, authorities revoked Petrova’s visa and told her that she was to be deported to Russia. In response, Petrova said that she feared political persecution and was instead sent by authorities to a detention facility, Anderson said.

This is, sadly, not shocking. They are going to send dissidents back to be murdered by Putin. Fucking assholes.
Trump is Putin's bitch confirmed yet again. Sending the scientists back is exactly what Putin wants
I was amazed that they messed with a rusian. But then I saw that she's female.. and sadly, that fuckin tracks.
She was deported because Putin wants to punish her
I hope we don't have to read about another window slip 🙁
This is just the beginning before windows in America get suddenly slippier. The doomsday clock ticked to 89 only 8 days after inaugauration. Few months in and Trump has managed to piss off every major global force. I have no reason to believe King Trump will leave office without another fight, but this time, he knows he can get away with anything. GG.
She will just "disappear" the moment she arrives in Russia...
Also because she's anti-war
She has been in detention since Feb 16th, why is the news being shared now
Reasons why I'm not going near a fucking airport if I can help it.
Does anybody have ANY evidence that ICE is actually doing any of us any good? Like are they breaking down the doors of known drug dens and rounding up all the illegals from gangster drug hideouts deep, deep in the hood or are they just walking around masked up terrorizing safe college campuses?
One time an IRS agent caught an ICE agent in a global csam bust. (Welcome to video)
They've literally not done one decent thing
How? She was trying to flee russia it appears
Even if they oppose putins war?
Any particular reason? Why do you hate russians?
Yeah. Nah subhuman is not cool
I’m sorry you think like this. You must be absolutely miserable on the inside. I hope you recognize that and get help soon.
Why might a Russian national flee to the US and say she doesn't want to go back to Russia? Political oppression, as she says in her own words? Maybe, just maybe, this Russian woman is a good guy (gal), and Putin wants her back to make an example out of her as to what happens when you're a good guy in Putin's Russia...
Neither does she, that's why the US detained her
Literally what?
Block and move on...
