EXCLUSIVE: Russian Dissident Says ICE Threatened Him With Rape if He Refused Deportation

“I feel like a street dog,” he wrote in a grievance this spring after accusing a CoreCivic guard of harassing him for being gay. “He openly HATES me.” The guard reportedly confiscated a book from Maksim while letting others read undisturbed. “I’m tired of crying after him being unfair,” Maksim wrote in an official complaint filed just last month. CoreCivic closed the case without resolution.

Maksim doesn’t just endure Eloy. He fights back. Fluent in Arabic, Turkish, and Russian, he’s become an informal translator and advocate for others inside—especially for detainees being pressured into signing voluntary deportation forms.

“When they tell them to sign,” Maksim says, “I tell them they don’t have to—in their own language.”

On Wednesday, Maksim was handed a deportation order. Final decision. No appeal. His ICE officer told him flatly that if he refused to board the plane back to Russia, he'd be locked up in U.S. federal prison for “four or five years”—where, Sandoval laughed, Maksim “will be raped.”

All lawyers who have defended Maksim have been disbarred. As highlighted on the website, there is grave concern for his life and health; Maksim Znak is not only unjustly imprisoned but also subjected to torturous conditions.

They are committing crimes every day.
