US Says Student Fled to China After Being Charged with Voting Illegally in Michigan
- A Chinese national who had been a University of Michigan student fled to China in January after being charged with illegal voting in Michigan last fall.
- He faced allegations of falsifying his citizenship status during voter registration and early voting, was charged with perjury and unlawfully voting, and was ordered to remain in Michigan.
- The man gave up his Chinese passport in November but later used a different passport to travel, and the FBI revealed these details in legal documents before a warrant for his arrest was authorized in April.
- Only U.S. nationals are permitted to participate in federal elections, and the student, who is now charged with a federal offense, cannot be extradited from China due to the absence of an agreement between the two countries.
- His flight highlights ongoing challenges in managing legal cases involving international students amid strained U.S.-China relations and tightened scrutiny on Chinese nationals.
