Overview
- The immigration ruling gives Postovoy 45 days to depart the United States voluntarily or be formally deported in December, according to his lawyer.
- Postovoy remains in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, with officials able to escort him to a flight once travel is arranged.
- His counsel says he will likely opt for voluntary departure, with deportation expected to be to Russia.
- The defense intends to seek termination of the U.S. criminal case after he leaves the country, a step described as a planned filing rather than a court outcome.
- Postovoy was previously detained over alleged violations of his stay, and U.S. authorities charged him in 2024 with export‑control, smuggling, and money‑laundering offenses.
