Worth repeating that this woman AGREED TO LEAVE THE UNITED STATES.
She said she would go back to Europe, where she held a valid visa that would allow her to temporarily stay.
She just didn't want to go back to Russia, where she feared returning bc of her past persecution for political activities.

The Justice Department has now filed criminal charges against Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova for “allegedly attempting to smuggle clawed frog embryos and embryonic samples into the United States.”

Shhhhh!
SHE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO RUSSIA. BECAUSE OF THE PAST PERSECUTION.
Instead of letting her leave the government has held her in detention for 3 months and brought criminal charges over FROG SAMPLES.
Apparently the government feels it’s very important that she be imprisoned before hand, and very important that the government gets to decide where she gets sent to.
On purpose. They want to break our world-leading university research system. I do not know why. Nefarious reasons, presumably.
Now D.MA will let her go…
They hate humans
Stephen Miller is a true sociopath and he is running the show.
It’s all a part of their attack on Harvard and science
And the fact that they are some of the worst sub humans ever to inhabit the earth.
They want to harm people because they can and no one is safe from them.
Kseniia Petrova must be free. The most insane kafka-esque circumstance. 3 months and counting in jail for frog embryos!
Fuck USA immigration Gestapo...
Saying they're going to send you to a third country, even without a personal history that makes it dangerous like she has, seems ridiculous.
If you were denied entry you weren't in the US yet, right? Or if you were admitted into the country and then charged you should be free until court / fine.
Reminder to all to divest from private prison funds
"Carpetazo" = an administration putting together a smut / false charges "folder" on someone as retribution or punishment.
She wants to leave, but not to where the "cops" that have her want to send her to.
That's not compatible with their need to be "in control" of punishing her for the crime of not being on their "team".
1) She knew what she was doing was illegal. If they were for research she could’ve declared them or had them sent to her
2) She didn’t declare them or have them sent because they’re an invasive species
She was smuggling an invasive species into US
They were deliberately & covertly released there to cause damage

I hate Trump and illegal deportations, but I am 💯 in favor of kicking out people who smuggle biological material
