Harvard Medical School scientist Kseniia Petrova was released on bail Thursday after spending four months in ICE detention. The Trump administration has sought to deport Petrova, a Russian national, accusing her of criminal smuggling for failing to declare nonhazardous frog samples when she reentered the U.S. from a trip to France. Petrova is due back in court next week.
