Kseniia Petrova was returning from a two-week vacation in France, when she was detained at Logan International Airport in Boston on Feb. 16, a Harvard colleague told the Globe.

Kseniia Petrova's attorney said her previous arrest in Russia and social media activity "will almost certainly ensure a nice, hefty jail sentence for her" if she is deported back.

The woman is being held in a Louisiana detention facility while waiting for her next hearing. The post A Harvard scientist from Russia has been detained by ICE since February for failing to declare frog embryos appeared first on Boston.
