  A Harvard scientist seeking asylum in the US faces possible deportation to Russia.


Harvard scientist Jie Shen, who developed a groundbreaking microscope capable of detecting cancer cells in seconds, was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on April 21, 2025, while attending a conference in San Francisco. Shen, a Chinese national and permanent U.S. resident, was apprehended due to an alleged visa violation, despite having lived and worked in the U.S. for over a decade. His sudden detention has sparked outrage among the scientific community and human rights advocates, who argue that his work could revolutionize cancer detection and treatment. Shen's colleagues and supporters are calling for his immediate release, emphasizing the importance of his contributions to medical science and the potential negative impact of his detention on ongoing research.
