Butina Seeks Speedy Deportation Back to Russia

“Maria Butina has waived her right to try to stay in the United States after serving her sentence,” the Daily Beast reports.

“In the filing, released on Friday, Butina asked for a judicial order of removal, which would keep her and the government from having to go through the typical process Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) uses to deport immigrants. In short, the filing expedites her deportation from the country. In the filing, Butina––a Russian national, who pleaded guilty to one conspiracy count––said she does not expect to face persecution or torture in Russia.”
