Russian Activists Seek Safe Haven in Paris

France provided asylum to Alexei and Nadezhda Ishimov, anti-Kremlin Russian activists.
Alexei arrived in Paris from Seattle, but Nadezhda was denied boarding due to travel document issues.
The couple fled Russia in 2022, entered the US from Mexico in 2024, and were detained by ICE during Trump's crackdown.
