A Harvard researcher, Kseniia Petrova, was released on bail after being charged with smuggling frog embryos into the US. She had been in custody since February following an interrogation at Boston Logan airport. Petrova, who had traveled from France where she collected the samples for research, faces restrictions including limited travel and passport retention. Her case has garnered attention as one among several high-profile incidents connected to immigration policies during Trump's administration aimed at targeting academics and international students. A probable cause hearing is scheduled for next week to address the charges against her.
"Petrova must return to court next week for a probable cause hearing on the smuggling charge, as the authorities maintain a hold on her passport."
"She became one of several high-profile cases of people detained in Donald Trump's immigration crackdown that appeared to target prominent academics and students."
