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.

This is, sadly, not shocking. They are going to send dissidents back to be murdered by Putin. Fucking assholes.
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 🙁
- Also because she's anti-war
She has been in detention since Feb 16th, why is the news being shared now
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
Reasons why I'm not going near a fucking airport if I can help it.
