Summary
An immigration judge has deemed the U.S. government’s deportation case against Russian-born Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova legally insufficient, prompting ICE to provide further documentation within a week. Detained for two months at Richwood Correctional Center, Petrova, who fears persecution in Russia due to her anti-war protests, is also involved in a separate federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security regarding her visa cancellation. A follow-up immigration hearing is set for July 22, while a related federal court hearing in Vermont is scheduled for May 14, which may influence her detention status.
