Yesterday, @FBIDetroit arrested a second Chinese national on charges of smuggling biological materials into the U.S. and lying to federal agents.
This individual is Chengxuan Han, a citizen of the People’s Republic of China and a Ph.D. student in Wuhan, China. Han is the third PRC connected individual charged on similar allegations in recent days.
Han is alleged to have sent four packages to the U.S. from China containing a biological material related to round worms — addressed to individuals associated with a lab at the University of Michigan.
Upon arriving at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport on June 8, Han allegedly made false statements to federal officials regarding the packages she had previously mailed — and had erased her electronic device just days prior.
In a follow up interview with FBI and ICE HSI agents, Han admitted to sending the packages and lying about their contents.
This case is part of a broader effort from the FBI and our federal partners to heavily crack down on similar pathogeon smuggling operations, as the CCP works relentlessly to undermine America’s research institutions.
Thank you to our partners @ICEgov @CBP @HSI_HQ.

Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_ - Watching anarchists & agitators live on @FOXLA using a hammer to break the curb/sidewalk into smaller rocks/stones to be placed in their bags to throw at police, and now a felony arson has taken place as another car has been set on fire.
Police standing & watching.
