A Chinese national has been turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after being found guilty of hiding his ties to China’s People’s Liberation Army on his student visa application, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York announced on July 8.

Zhang Jiaxuemo, 30, of Arizona, pleaded guilty to one count of falsifying, concealing, or covering up a material fact and was sentenced to the time served in Buffalo. Zhang was arrested in August 2023.
