Harvard Scientist Kseniia Petrova Released on Bail After 4 Months Locked Up
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harvard Medical School scientist Kseniia Petrova was released on bail
Thursday after spending four months in ICE detention. The Trump
administration has sought to deport Petrova, a Russian national,
accusing her of criminal smuggling for failing to declare nonhazardous
frog samples when she reentered the U.S. from a trip to France. Petrova
is due back in court next week.
