A China-born Canadian citizen has been deported from the United States after receiving probation for illegally photographing a U.S. defence facility with a drone.

Brampton, Ont., resident Xiao Guang Pan was deported back to Canada on Aug. 15, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an Aug. 29 statement. Pan was charged earlier this year by the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida with three counts of using a drone to photograph defence installations and equipment at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS) in Florida.
