She is currently being held in an ICE facility in Louisiana.”“Senators demanded that Petrova be released ahead of her May 7 preliminary hearing, ‘absent evidence that Petrova is a flight risk or a danger to the community.’”<a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/arbitraryDetention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#arbitraryDetention</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/KseniiaPetrova" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KseniiaPetrova</a>
