Lying Liars Who LIE: Dartmouth Professor Hides REAL Reason ICE Arrested Russian Harvard Lab Worker

The other day, a court ruled the Trump administration can, in fact, deport Columbia's pro-Hamas agitator Mahmoud Khalil. By engaging in activities that violated the terms of his green card, Khalil signed his own deportation orders.

The Left rallied around the antisemitic protester, calling his detainment an affront to free speech and fascism. It was neither of those things.

As always, the Left picks the absolute worst people to champion as sympathetic victims of the Trump administration's America-first immigration policies.

And they've found another one. This time it's a lab worker at Harvard who was arrested by ICE.

Dartmouth professor Paul Novosad posted about it, and he's lying, of course:

Here's what The New York Times wrote:

A barracks-style detention center in Louisiana is jammed with around 90 immigrant women, mostly undocumented workers from central and South America, sharing five toilets and following orders shouted by guards.

There is also, among them, a Russian scientist.

...

For nearly eight weeks, Kseniia Petrova has been captive to the hard-line immigration policies of the Trump administration. A graduate of a renowned Russian physics and technology institute, Ms. Petrova was recruited to work at a laboratory at Harvard Medical School. She was part of a team investigating how cells can rejuvenate themselves, with the goal of fending off the damage of aging.

On Feb. 16, customs officials detained her at Logan International Airport in Boston for failing to declare samples of frog embryos she had carried from France at the request of her boss at Harvard.

And here's the truth: Petrova broke the law. Here's more from NBC News (emphasis added):

A DHS spokesperson told NBC News on Friday that Petrova was 'lawfully detained...'

He should be disciplined by Harvard for being an accomplice.

Wonder why she knowingly broke the law by trying to smuggle it all in?

Her lawyer said Petrova told them not to notify the Russian consulate, saying, “I cannot go to Russia. I will be persecuted there.”

More bullsh** for media cucks. Its the same slogan 10 million illegals all learned to say when they crossed the Rio Grande under Biden

Apparently, according to pro-migrant leftists, the whole world, except the USA, is a dystopian political hell-hole

And yet these same American leftists still hate the USA. Weird.

So, she wasn’t working on a cure for cancer? She was working to stop aging? All the older folks in America should be defending her. I say, let her do her research. But she can do it in France or Russia.

We are not exactly giving her a lobotomy.

She is just being told she needs to go to another country as she has worn out her welcome here.

We have enough home grown criminals, we do not need to import any.

Didn't some basketball player get arrested in Russia and held for a long time in jail for bringing drugs into Russia? I seem to recall stories about that.

Maybe Harvard people are above the law, regardless of which direction they come from.

I have been hearing 12 million illegals all the way back to Bill clinton’s term. The real number is closer to 25-30 million, not counting their kids born here...

Love it. Just love it.

The problem is, the Left understands this dynamic all too well.

  • Get out there early.

  • Set the narrative with lies.

  • Push it out everywhere via all their media outlets.

  • Suppress narratives on social media and search engines that differ from theirs.

  • Characterize anyone who questions their narrative as evil, heartless, white supremacists, nazi lovers, and stupid conspiracy theorists.

  • Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

By the time the truth gets its pants on, the lie has traveled around the world many times.

Expect to hear more about how government should keep its hands out of “health care”, etc. Reminiscent of abortion and Covid themes.

I worked in a few labs, my position was below the lab rats, they have a union and many union benefits, I did not.

Thinking she may have been a “post-Doc”, almost as low as my slot but many now have union representation! Still low on the totem pole.

So who ‘asked’ her to transport the counterband? They too should be in the dock.

Someone was forcing her to do this.

...Intersting contraband.

I was working at the University of Chicago, and one Monday morning, the cafeteria crowd was bubbling!

A large and heavy crate arrived by air express ($$$) Sunday night and required a forklift and helpers to unload???
Yes, they had a crew on OT.

Most unusual, what was going on???

... It was human heads on dry ice.
The problem is that, by law/custom, donor body parts are not to be separated.

This was supposed to be hush-hush.

In that lab, they had preserved cranial nerves between glass!

“On old Olympus’ towering top, a Finn and German viewed some hops” ... But unsure about today’s breakfast?
Oh well.

I wonder what was really going on with the frog embryos that could not have been done by legal mean. Let’s see, bat virus in China, and now a virus in frogs to be turned loose. Two frogs can make a lot of tad poles.
