Trump Admin Returns Russian Dissident Asylum Seekers to Putin
>Activists warn Russian political refugees against seeking asylum in the US
>Immigration and Customs Enforcement had put them on a circuitous route: after being picked up from an airport in Alexandria, Louisiana, they made stops in the Caribbean before moving onwards to Cairo, Egypt.
>From Cairo, a plane took them to Moscow.
>The episode has caused panic among Russian dissidents and exiles. Many of them fled the country in the years after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Thousands sought refuge in the U.S., telling immigration authorities that they fear imprisonment or persecution
