A federal judge in Arizona has ordered the U.S. government to revoke the
citizenship of a woman at the center of a 2007 security breach involving a
Chinese national who worked inside an Arizona intelligence center.
U.S. District Judge David G. Campbell’s Aug. 26 order to strip Xunmei Grace
Li, a Chinese native, of her naturalized citizenship came the same day that
The Center for Investigative Reporting and ProPublica jointly reported the
previously undisclosed security breach involving data at the Arizona Counter
Terrorism Information Center.
The breach potentially exposed sensitive information in a state driver’s
license database of up to 5 million Arizona residents. Li, 45, previously
pleaded guilty to knowingly making false statements in her pursuit of
gaining U.S. citizenship, which she obtained in 2005.
The immigration-related fraud case began soon after the disappearance of a
Chinese national and computer programmer who worked at the intelligence
center was reported to the FBI, according to the federal immigration agent
who led the investigation.
Li did not respond to calls for comment. Her attorney, Don Bivens, wrote in
an email that they believed the government was pursuing her unfairly for
reasons they did not understand. Bivens declined to comment on whether Li
plans to appeal the judge’s decision to strip her of her citizenship.
“It has been a shame to see the U.S. Department of Justice seeking to
revoke citizenship from our client, who in our view simply made mistakes on
her naturalization application that are commonly made by hundreds of
immigrants every day,” he wrote.
Paul Haney, a retired U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who
investigated Li and Gang Chen, the father of Li's children, said the
government had suspicions that Li was involved in espionage, and there were
many unanswered questions about who she is, but the government erred on the
side of caution.
“We may never know. Absent a confession, we can only speculate. Maybe she
is telling the truth and she’s not an operative,” he said. “I don’t know
.”
Li repeatedly has denied that she is a Chinese operative or spy.
Christopher Dempsey, a U.S. Justice Department attorney who represented the
government at the trial, referred calls for comment to the Justice
Department. Federal court records show Dempsey’s docket is filled with
citizenship cases, including lawsuits tied to national security matters. In
one ongoing case, Dempsey is working to denaturalize a Syrian native
convicted of helping fund al-Qaida.
Justice Department spokeswoman Nicole Navas said the department was pleased
with the court’s decision and Campbell’s order “speaks for itself.”
The court ruling followed a four-day bench trial in August that hinged on
allegations of bigamy and whether Li lacked good moral character. Li was
married to two men at the same time, but she contended that one of the
marriages was intended to appease the parents of her children’s father and
was not supposed to be real. The father, Chen, a onetime green card holder,
was deported last year.
Li also did not list her two U.S.-born children on her naturalization
application, an omission her attorneys argued was a simple and not uncommon
mistake.
Campbell, who earlier this year partially ruled in Li’s favor, ordered
denaturalization on four counts involving lack of good moral character.
Those included false statements, bigamy, an extramarital affair and
concealment or misrepresentation of facts to get citizenship. He wrote in
his opinion that he came to doubt Li’s credibility during the trial.
“The government has shown that Li procured her citizenship by
misrepresenting her marital status and concealing the existence of her
children,” Campbell wrote.
Denaturalization is a rare occurrence in the U.S., as the consequences are
severe and citizenship is highly prized. In recent years, the government has
prioritized denaturalization for serious criminals and national security
cases. Bigamy in and of itself generally does not rise to that level.
Patricia Corrales, a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorney who
was involved with many denaturalization cases in her career, said revoking
citizenship has been used in situations with national security concerns,
particularly when they involve false testimony, without disclosing secrets
or such suspicions.
“Now, most people think, “Bigamy, what’s the big deal with that?’ ”
said Corrales, who is now an immigration attorney in Southern California. “
We want only people who deserve to be U.S. citizens in this country to have
that status. If you’re going to lie about your kids, what else are you
going to be lying about?”
Li worked for a small Arizona technology contractor, which had brought
Lizhong Fan, a Chinese national and computer programmer, to work on a facial
recognition program at the Arizona Counter Terrorism Information Center.
Fan previously had worked in China on a facial recognition program that was
set up by the contractor, Hummingbird Defense Systems, and its founder,
Steve Greschner. Hummingbird partnered with Chen’s company, Detaq Science,
on the project months after Li approached Greschner in 2002.
Fan, who was in the country on a special visa, abruptly left the country in
June 2007. Without notifying Greschner, Fan took two laptops, cellphones and
other company property.
The company reported the incident to the FBI, which opened an inquiry. An
immigration-related investigation soon followed, which eventually led to Li
’s arrest in 2008. She pleaded guilty in 2009 to knowingly making false
statements related to naturalization. A U.S. district judge sentenced her to
five years’ probation. |

发帖数: 13455 | 36 Hummingbird, without vetting [Lizhong] Fan further, sought his work visa,
Greschner said, adding that he assumed law enforcement or other government
officials took a closer look at the Chinese national. Greschner said he was
asked by an official with the sheriff's department in 2006 to provide a
numeric code for Fan's name, often used in investigations to pinpoint
Chinese identity, which he did. In the application, Greschner said that Fan
possessed skills not readily available in the U.S.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office endorsed Fan as well. In a September
2006 letter to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a senior
sheriff's official wrote that Fan already "demonstrated an extensive
knowledge of the esoteric science" that converts human faces into data
points. Such knowledge "appears to be" scarce.
Officials at the intelligence center discussed the wisdom of hiring a
Chinese national for such sensitive work, according to Beasley, the
counterterrorism director for the state's public safety department. Beasley
said he opposed it without success.
"Was there a concern? Absolutely," Beasley said, "because China is not our
friend."
Cindy Bonomolo was the sheriff's deputy most often assigned to monitor Fan
inside the intelligence center.
"I was told he did the facial recognition for Tiananmen Square," Bonomolo
said in a June interview. "They said he was the best of the best. I have to
say, this man was a genius."
Greschner said Fan looked quite at home in the center.
"It was like 'I was a member of the club' - you know what I mean?" Greschner
said of Fan.
Bonomolo's ability to judge Fan's talent or oversee the integrity of his
daily work in the intelligence center was not great. She'd chiefly served as
a patrol or corrections officer within the sheriff's office. In an
interview, she said she has no knowledge of computer science. Bonomolo said
she had no reason to distrust Fan, and the two became close over discussions
about her Christian faith. Fan became a Christian while in the U.S., she
said.
Much of Fan's job involved moving terabytes of data to servers. There were
driver's license records from the state, arrest files from county jails and
criminal history data that had to be uploaded. Next, Hummingbird needed Fan
to edit the facial recognition software so that it could reliably search all
those different databases.
Fan had access to the center's main network, according to three sources with
first-hand knowledge of Fan's work arrangements. From there, he would have
been able to see the directory of federal agents and state police working at
the Arizona counterterrorism center, said Haney, the retired immigration
agent.
Thus, day after day, Fan enjoyed the rarest of access to confidential
personal and investigative files.
Then, on the first Tuesday of June 2007, according to a former law
enforcement official, Fan paid cash for airfare to Beijing at the Phoenix
Sky Harbor International Airport ticket counter. Fan's luggage, Greschner
and Li said, carried two laptops and additional hard drives.
