In 2016, Ming Xi Zhang, known to his community as «Sushi John», met with members of the Chinese Ministry of State Security in the Bahamas on multiple occasions. On one of those occasions, he was instructed to bring $35,000 to another person in the United States, and he did. He also hosted Chinese government officials in his Princeton, N.J., home several times.
Last year, he was convicted of «acting as an unregistered agent of the Chinese government» and pled guilty to the charges. So what did Barack Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp, who presided over this case, do? Lock him away in jail? Ship him back to China? No, he was released back onto the streets with three years of probation.
Zhang came to the United States legally in 2000, though I can’t confirm his current immigration status. I presume he is not a U.S. citizen because now that we have grownups in charge of the country, he’s been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is «subject to deportation.» In other words, we don’t just let Chinese spies run amok.
