On Saturday, The New York Post<\/a> posted an article about Ming Xi Zhang, known as \u201cSushi John, Ya Ya Noodles in Montgomery Township, NJ. On March 24, Sushi John was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a>\u00a0in Newark.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Zhang was convicted in April 2024 of acting as an unregistered agent of the Chinese government and sentenced to three years\u2019 probation. In May 2021, he pleaded guilty to having served as an agent of China in 2016 without notifying the U.S. Attorney General.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ICE says he legally entered the U.S. in 2000 but later \u201cviolated the terms of his lawful admission.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…\u201cAny illegal alien conducting activities related to espionage, sabotage or export control against the United States is subject to deportation,\u201d said<\/a> ICE Newark Field Office Director John Tsoukaris.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Zhang met with Chinese security officials in the Bahamas in 2016 and delivered<\/a> $35,000 to an unnamed individual in New Jersey, according to NJ.com<\/a>. He also admitted to twice hosting a Chinese government agent at his Princeton home that fall.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019s being held\u00a0at the Elizabeth Detention Center awaiting immigration proceedings, a worker at his\u00a0restaurant\u00a0told the Post on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s doing good, I mean, given the circumstances,\u201d\u00a0the worker said. \u201cBut yeah, he\u2019s just kind of waiting\u2026 to get let out.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The community surrounding Zhang\u2019s restaurant has apparently rallied around him and his restaurant in the days since his arrest.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole town has been really supportive,\u201d the worker said. \u201cEveryone\u2019s been coming in, offering phone numbers, talking to his family . . . everyone\u2019s really supportive.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is wrong with Americans? The man was spying for a country that would very much like to eliminate America and its freedom. During World War II, would they have treated a Nazi spy this well?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
