<p><font face="Arial">Dear all</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Kseniia has now been criminally charged (!!) for “smuggling” the frog samples into the US. Also today in a court hearing the trump administration confirmed that their plan it to deport her to Russia where she would likely face jail time.
This is nuts but based in part on texts on her phone regarding how to pass customs with the samples. All of the news stories about her situation have likely backfired by increasing trumps need to “win” at all costs. I want to re-up her go fund me as she will
likely now need a criminal lawyer in addition to an immigration lawyer. </font><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-kseniia-a-harvard-scientist-in-need">https://www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with-kseniia-a-harvard-scientist-in-need</a></p>

<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace">Dear #Xenopus colleagues. I am writing to urge you to support one of our own. Ksneniia Petrova was sent to work in a lab in France on a tourist visa and instructed to bring back embryos
in her luggage without declaring them. She is a Russian national on a visa and was blocked from reentry at Logan and sent to a detention facility at a prison in Louisiana. None of this is her fault - others bare the blame for what she is suffering. Please
consider donating to this GoFundMe to support her. <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.linkedin.com/posts/william-v-trim-413ab0237_httpsgofundmed421b28f-this-is-our-friend-activity-7311063967060119553-Tml4/__;!!Dq0X2DkFhyF93HkjWTBQKhk!WnouLxiQp1_vtiG-kNi8R_T1Ys5edAuhJ1yiqfUoi_TOlQ16Ss6_0tPMaby0Zd6L0zCVrRiS7OmJYFQnf0Ohsc6asxOb$" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
