A Chinese national who smuggled undeclared biological materials into the United States for research at a Michigan laboratory has been sentenced, raising questions about security protocols and foreign access to American scientific institutions.

Chengxuan Han, a citizen of the People’s Republic of China, received a sentence of time served—just three months in detention—after pleading guilty to three counts of smuggling and to making false statements to federal officers.

The case was announced by U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon, Jr., along with officials from the FBI, Customs and Border Protection, and Homeland Security Investigations.

According to court documents, Han was pursuing a Ph.D. at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, the same Chinese city that gained worldwide notoriety during the COVID-19 outbreak. 

In 2024 and 2025, she shipped multiple packages to associates at a University of Michigan laboratory. 

The packages concealed biological materials tied to her research, including specimens involving roundworms. None of the shipments were declared correctly.

On June 8, 2025, Han entered the United States on a J-1 visa through Detroit Metropolitan Airport. 

Customs officers flagged her for inspection. 

During questioning, Han denied knowledge of the packages she had shipped. Officials later determined that she had deliberately deleted information from her electronic devices just three days before she arrived in the United States. 

After further questioning by the FBI and Homeland Security, Han admitted both to the shipments and to lying during her inspection.

U.S. Attorney Gorgon condemned Han’s conduct, emphasizing that America’s universities are privileges, not platforms for abuse.

 “Aliens should not be abusing our hospitality by smuggling unknown biomaterials into America and then lying about it,” he said.

Federal agents stressed the seriousness of the threat. Reuben Coleman, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Detroit Field Office, called the prosecution “a small but important step” in safeguarding national security. 

CBP Director Marty C. Raybon noted that while Han avoided a harsher sentence, she will be deported and permanently barred from reentry to the United States.

The case demonstrates the growing challenge of protecting U.S. research facilities from exploitation. 

Biological materials, even those that seem minor, can pose unknown risks when smuggled into the country without proper oversight. 

Officials made clear that interagency coordination between the FBI, CBP, and ICE HSI was critical in uncovering Han’s scheme and ensuring her removal.

Han’s light sentence highlights a broader debate: whether America is adequately deterring foreign nationals who circumvent safeguards in sensitive fields. 

While she will be deported, the short time served may not reflect the gravity of smuggling biological materials into the United States under pretenses.

A diverse group of lawmakers engaged in a congressional hearing, with individuals focused on their devices and discussions in a formal setting.

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) had to be woken up by a staffer on Wednesday morning during a congressional hearing.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Epstein files, fatal shootings of two anti-ICE agitators and more.

Nadler fell asleep just minutes into Wednesday’s hearing.

A staffer walked over to Nadler and woke him up.

WATCH:

Later on during the hearing, Nadler and Bondi got into a shouting match over Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.

“How many [co-conspirators] have you indicted?” Nadler asked Bondi.

“Excuse me! I’m going to answer!” Bondi said.

“Answer my question!” Nadler demanded.

“I’m gonna answer the question the way I want to answer the question. Your theatrics are ridiculous,” Bondi said.

“Chairman Jordan, I’m not gonna get into the gutter with these people,” Bondi said.

According to the Tumbler Ridge Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left nine dead and at least 25 more injured.

According to police, the sole suspect, described as a “gunperson’ wearing a dress, was found dead inside the school from “a self-inflicted injury.”

Per CNN:

Police found six people dead and dozens injured when they arrived at the high school in Tumbler Ridge, a town of just 2,400 people in northeast British Columbia, early on Tuesday afternoon. Another person died en route to hospital, police said.

The alleged shooter, who was found dead at the school with a self-inflicted injury, is believed to have killed two more people, whose bodies were discovered at a home in the township

Two victims were airlifted from the school to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries. And about 25 other people were also being treated at a local medical center, police said.

Fox News reported that Superintendent Ken Floyd, North District Commander, said in a statement,  “This was a rapidly evolving and dynamic situation, and the swift cooperation from the school, first responders, and the community played a critical role in our response.”

“Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional day for our community, and we are grateful for the cooperation shown as officers continue their work to advance the investigation.”

Juno News, an independent outlet in Canada, claims to have spoken with someone connected to the suspected shooter’s family who says the suspect was trans and used “she/her” pronouns, but authorities have not confirmed the claim.

The Guardian reported that the police have identified the shooter, but didn’t publicly release their identity due to the integrity of the investigation.

The shooter’s identity, any potential connections to groups, and motivations remain under investigation.
