Democrats love to labor under the idea that enforcing the border is racist. And their tiny minds are blown by watching *gasp* white people being deported. |

I think you are totally wrong about everything. Most of America cares about all of this. In a very quick search, this poll from the end of March is somewhat relevant. It relates to mistakenly detaining a legal US resident by ICE, which presumably would also apply to mistakenly detaining a foreign tourist trying to visit the US: "As for some potential implications, as a general principle it's not acceptable to most if some legal U.S. residents were to be mistakenly detained by immigration authorities. But half of Republicans say it would be acceptable." Keep in mind that as of 2020 Republicans make up only 25% of the population. So half of 25% is only 13% of the population. Not "most Americans" at all. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/opinion-poll-trump-economy-tariffs-deportation-immigration/ |

She is absolutely NOT sympathetic enough because she knowingly violated the law. It is concerning when researchers think rules don't apply to them. This is not only in violation of the law it is in violation of Harvard's Policies. So either her principal researcher set her up and is letting her take the fall or she just didn't care to follow the rules and /or they are just incredibly cheap not to pay a company to officially declare and deliver the samples. Harvard researchers should absolutely know how the proper procedure that is written down in Harvard's policies on transporting biological samples. The issue is if you think the rules don't apply to you, maybe it isn't a good idea to be trusted with honestly doing research. This is an article from Mass Live: https://www.masslive.com/news/2025/05/harvard-scientist-charged-in-connection-with-frog-embryos-brought-to-logan-airport.html Petrova returned from France with “non-hazardous, noninfectious, and non-toxic frog embryos” at the request of her supervisor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. Leonid Peshkin, according to court documents. An ICE K9 unit alerted its handler to Petrova’s duffle bag on the baggage carousel, Foley’s office said. Agents then stopped Petrova, removed her bag and brought it for further screening. Inside was a foam box with clawed frog embryos in microcentrifuges, as well as embryonic samples in paraffin well stages and on mounted dyed slides. Petrova initially denied carrying any biological material in her checked bag before admitting that she was carrying such material, Foley’s office said. While speaking with law enforcement, she said she needed to declare the embryos before entering the United States. Her phone showed text messages from one of her colleagues telling her to declare the embryos “because [Transportation Security Administration] went through my bags at customs in Boston,” Foley’s office said. According to the charging documents, however, Petrova’s phone revealed text messages from an individual identified as one of Petrova’s colleagues informing Petrova that she was required to declare the biological material: “What is your plan to pass the American Customs with samples?” one of the texts to Petrova read, according to Foley. “This is the most delicate place of the trajectory.” Another text conversation with her “principal investigator” showed that Petrova replied that she did not have a plan to get the samples through customs. “No plan yet. I won’t be able to swallow them,” Petrova texted back, according to Foley. Petrova was advised by agents that she was ineligible to enter the country with the undeclared embryos, the statement read. When asked if she would withdraw her application for admission, she replied yes before her arrest. When asked if she feared returning to Russia, Petrova said she had a valid Schengen visa that allows her entry into 29 European countries, including France, according to a complaint she filed. After this, she was detained and transferred to ICE custody to await a credible fear interview. |

note the article does not even say which visa. maybe because their are so many. He probably had an H1B and all H1Bs should be repealed. H1B is corporate welfare. It is a program that lets companies exploit workers to make themselves richer on the backs of workers. Sooner or later people will get the message. Do NOT come to the US on H1B or L1 or H4EAD or OPT or any of these. |

When Jonathan returned from the US to Australia for a quick trip to scatter his sister’s ashes, he packed only two changes of clothes, leaving enough space in his small bag to carry the empty ashes urn to his home in the US. The trip was so brief he didn’t even pack a laptop charger. The Australian says he was detained and deported when returning from the memorial in March, despite holding a working visa still valid for more than a year. He has been living on the US east coast for the better part of a decade – where his American partner, apartment, work studio and clients remain. If his home is in the US- why is he still called an Australian? Wouldn’t his home be in Australia? |

Yeah, no. You DO NOT know he “had all the right papers.” Please tell us exactly which visa he had (you cannot). |

| Entering Texas was his mistake. Come through California and drive to TX. They haven't started state borders yet |

Open & shut legal case here, immigration wise. Notice she knew in advance she had to declare biologic material, made jokes about it, then failed to declare even after she knew she had to? This part: “ According to the charging documents, however, Petrova’s phone revealed text messages from an individual identified as one of Petrova’s colleagues informing Petrova that she was required to declare the biological material: “What is your plan to pass the American Customs with samples?” one of the texts to Petrova read, according to Foley. “This is the most delicate place of the trajectory.” Another text conversation with her “principal investigator” showed that Petrova replied that she did not have a plan to get the samples through customs. “No plan yet. I won’t be able to swallow them,” Petrova texted back, according to Foley.” Looks like CBP got that last laugh. The law applies to all; even Harvard. |

YES! I wondered the same thing. Why imprison visitors? Why not just refuse to let them enter? But I think the goal is to instill fear and compliance in the US population by imprisoning innocent people on the flimsiest excuses. And it's working!! People are afraid to come to the US! The tourism industry is going to crash and burn. |

You are effiing insane!! That Kool-Aid you drank is going to kill you shortly!! You have no idea what a catastrophic effect cancelling all H1B visas would have on the US economy. We would cease to be a global power in a few decades. Trump will be dead by then, but his catastrophic policies and their devastating effect on the US economy will live on for decades. |
