Kseniia Petrova was returning to the US from a trip to France when officials revoked her visa and detained her

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.

    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?

          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…

                  There is a horrendous group that agrees with your horrendous statement, they are called the Nazis.

                  They agreed with you so much that they gave their troops leaflets that stated: “Kill every Russian, every Soviet male or female you see. Don’t stop just because it is an old man or woman, a girl or a boy. Kill!”

                  This type of rhetoric only leads to more needless bloodshed.

                  On the Russian side, such rhetoric led to Russians committing coordinated mass killings and torture of civilians at places such as Bucha and Izium.

                  On the Ukrainian side, such rhetoric led to Russian stormtroopers finding tons of evidence of coordinated mass killings and torture of civilians conducted by Ukraine in Kursk Oblast after recent Ukrainian defeat there.

                  I’m sorry you think like this. You must be absolutely miserable on the inside. I hope you recognize that and get help soon.

          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.
