Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) is seeking information from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regarding the seizure of illegal firearm parts trafficked from China.

Krishnamoorthi, ranking Democrat member of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, announced on May 30 that he had sent a letter to CBP Acting Commissioner Pete Flores. His letter cited a report that found that many illegal weapon parts from China were seized earlier this year at the postal processing center at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.
