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
