Chinese national accused of smuggling BIOWEAPON into America



FBI Director Kash Patel made a scary announcement this week — that a Chinese national has been accused of trying to smuggle a dangerous biological pathogen into the United States.

“I can confirm that the FBI arrested a Chinese national within the United States who allegedly smuggled a dangerous biological pathogen into the country,” Patel wrote in a post on X.

According to Patel, Yunqing Jian “is alleged to have smuggled a dangerous fungus called ‘Fusarium graminearum,’ which is an agroterrorism agent, into the U.S. to research at the University of Michigan, where she works.”


This particular fungus is dangerous, as it can cause a disease called “head blight,” which Patel explained is “a disease of wheat, barley, maize, and rice” that causes “significant health issues in both humans and livestock.”

Patel also reported that there is evidence that Jian “had expressed loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party” and has “received funding from the Chinese government for similar work on this pathogen in China.”

Charlie LeDuff of “No BS Newshour” tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales that the University of Michigan is his “alma mater,” and it’s “corrupt.”

“The University of Michigan, which is routinely considered the best or second best, has one of the largest endowments,” LeDuff says on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” noting that researchers like Jian “don’t teach classes” and are “funded by the National Science Foundation.”

“The Chinese government gives you a stipend. They might also contribute to the university. Nobody’s vetted, and you’re doing Fusarium fungi that attacks plants so they can’t grow, which leads to starvation,” he continues.

“The University of Michigan is corrupt. They had the biggest DEI program in the country. ... I want my university back,’” he adds.

Chinese illegal alien kills herself in Border Patrol custody



A Chinese national believed to be in the United States illegally took her own life recently at a Border Patrol detention facility in Arizona.

On March 29, a 52-year-old Chinese woman — who had reportedly overstayed her B-1/B-2 visitor visa — fashioned a noose at the BP facility in Yuma and hanged herself. According to a statement from Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the woman did not receive medical attention "for nearly two hours."

Jayapal also alleged that facility officials mishandled required wellness checks on the woman. Though logs showed that "multiple welfare checks were conducted," a processing coordinator apparently indicated to the congresswoman that he did not conduct them. The Customs and Border Protection Office of Professional Responsibility was likewise "unable to verify" whether those checks even occurred, her statement said.

A CBP spokesperson confirmed the death on Thursday, the Tucson Sentinel reported, five days after it happened. According to the spokesperson, the woman was found "unresponsive in a cell."

"Emergency Medical Services were called to the station and transported the woman to the local hospital, where she was pronounced deceased."

An agency spokesperson then told the Sentinel on Friday that the suicide occurred just out of the range of surveillance cameras that constantly monitor the facility. "In this case, Border Patrol’s ability to observe the incident was limited due to privacy constraints — the incident occurred in a bathroom stall where cameras were not able to capture the full angle," the spokesperson said.

The CBP OPR has been investigating the incident, and the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General has been notified, the agency claimed.

"All in-custody deaths are tragic, taken seriously, and are thoroughly investigated by CBP."

Agents seized the money for possible 'laundering,' claiming it was likely the proceeds of some other 'illegal activity.'

On March 26, a few days before the woman's death, Border Patrol conducted a traffic stop on a minivan carrying four Chinese nationals near Needles, California. Two of those Chinese nationals — a 36-year-old male and a 52-year-old female — were arrested for alien inadmissibility after they were determined to be "illegally present in the U.S.," said a Facebook post from the BP Yuma Sector.

Moreover, agents discovered $220,000 wrapped in aluminum foil and stashed in duffel bags inside the vehicle. Agents seized the money for possible "laundering," claiming it was likely the proceeds from some other "illegal activity."

Whether the Chinese woman arrested during that incident is the same Chinese woman who later committed suicide has not been confirmed. Both were 52 years old at the time of their arrest, and both were brought to the Yuma station after being arrested near Needles, California.

Blaze News left a message with the Yuma Border Patrol Sector, asking whether they are the same person, but did not receive a response. The name of the deceased woman has not been released.

Rep. Jayapal indicated in her statement that this latest death at a BP facility is part of larger humanitarian problem at immigration agencies in general. To demonstrate, she pointed to two deaths at a Northwestern facility in 2024.

"When Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents take a person into custody, they are responsible for their well-being, full stop," she said.

"Reports have consistently shown that the United States falls far short of its obligations to treat all detained people with dignity and fairness."
