A Chinese national, Hua Zhen Dong, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in the Middle District of Pennsylvania on charges of assaulting federal officers. The indictment stems from an incident that occurred on July 9, 2026, in State College, Pennsylvania, where Dong was located by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. Authorities found that Dong had an outstanding arrest warrant related to immigration matters at the time of the encounter.

According to information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, Dong allegedly resisted arrest by kicking, biting, and scratching the federal officers. The investigation into the matter was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations, with Assistant United States Attorney Geoffrey W. MacArthur prosecuting the case. This prosecution is part of a broader federal initiative known as Operation Take Back America, which aims to combat illegal immigration and related criminal activities.

Operation Take Back America is described as a nationwide effort by the Department of Justice to address illegal immigration, dismantle cartels and transnational criminal organizations, and protect communities from violent crime. The initiative integrates resources from Project Safe Neighborhood, another Department of Justice program. For individuals found guilty of the charges outlined in the indictment, the maximum penalty under federal law includes up to eight years of imprisonment, followed by a period of supervised release, and the imposition of a fine. The final sentence in any federal case is determined by a judge, considering relevant federal sentencing statutes and guidelines. It is important to note that indictments are formal accusations, and all individuals charged are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
