Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard researcher detained in Louisiana, faces smuggling charges related to frog embryos brought to Logan Airport as the Trump administration plans her deportation to Russia. The Massachusetts Attorney General has filed an amicus brief in support of Petrova, who is currently appealing her deportation in federal court. After spending three months in ICE detention, her case is now set to be heard in Burlington. The situation has raised significant concerns, with calls for a reevaluation of the treatment of scientists in immigration cases.
