Friends of the scientist say when Petrova's visa was revoked for being deported to Russia, her lawyer says, “If she was sent back to Russia, she would almost certainly be jailed.”

“We initially didn't know what happened to her because we couldn't send a message to her or call her when we were detained. She was initially moved to a Vermont facility, then to what she was now Louisiana.

Petrova is currently being held at the Richwood Detention Facility in Louisiana and is hearing an immigration court on May 7th in Jena, Louisiana in connection with her asylum case.
