Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea J. Campbell filed an amicus brief in support of Harvard Medical School researcher #Kseniia #Petrova,
calling for her immediate release from a Louisiana detention facility.The brief — filed on Monday in a Vermont District Court — condemned the Department of Homeland Security’s decision to detain Petrova.
Customs and Border Patrol officials arrested the Russian-born cancer researcher in February, after she allegedly failed to declare frog embryos at the Boston Logan International Airport.
In the brief, Campbell wrote that Petrova is “stuck in a nightmare of a situation.”“Her visa was cancelled unlawfully,
she was denied admission to the United States based on the unlawful cancellation of that visa,
and she is incarcerated in Louisiana seemingly indefinitely based on an expedited removal order that was never signed,” the brief read.“This situation is unjustifiable and unlawful.”

hours after a federal judge in Vermont heard arguments in a lawsuit she filed alleging that the Trump administration has been unlawfully detaining her.Petrova's lawyer claims the charges are meritless, and questions the timing of criminal custody
Prior to the criminal case being unsealed, the government had indicated it planned to deport her back to Russia,
despite Petrova stating she feared going back to country or origin after protesting Russia's war in Ukraine.She was detained at Logan International Airport in Boston on February 16 after a trip to Paris.
Petrova, who worked at Harvard Medical School, has said her boss asked her to bring back frog embryo samples for ongoing experiments.
Federal prosecutors said that upon her arrival, Petrova was stopped by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents after her checked duffle bag was flagged for inspection,
revealing biological material.Such biological products must be declared and require a permit to be brought into the country.
Prosecutors said that Petrova initially denied carrying any biological material in her baggage
before admitting she had biological specimens.Her visa was then canceled and she was taken into custody by immigration officials
