Palestinian student sues Michigan school over teacher's reaction to her refusal to stand for Pledge
Story by ED WHITE • 13h
 
A federal grand jury in Boston indicted Kseniia Petrova, a Russian-born Harvard scientist, in connection with attempting to smuggle clawed frog embryos and embryonic samples into the United States.

Petrova, 31, was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 25 on one count of concealment of a material fact, one count of false statement, and one count of smuggling goods into the United States, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts. She was previously only charged with smuggling in May.
 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection canceled Petrova's visa in February after she failed to declare scientific samples when she returned to Boston from France. CBP agents then turned her over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement with the intent of deporting her back to Russia, where she had fled after protesting Russia's war in Ukraine.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
