An alleged Chinese spy, human smugglers and violent criminals are the latest to be arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agents in Florida.
One recent arrest was of a Chinese-Canadian national charged with three counts of using an unmanned aircraft to photograph vital defense installations and equipment at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base, Cape Canaveral, Florida.
Xiao Guang Pan, 71, used an unmanned aircraft to photograph vital defense installations and equipment at Cape Canaveral Space Force Base over a period of three days in January, according to a criminal filing. He allegedly took aerial photographs of Space Launch complexes, a payload processing facility, a submarine wharf, and munitions bunkers, according to the complaint published by ICE.
Federal law prohibits unauthorized photographs from being taken of vital defense installations. Pan faces a maximum of one year in federal prison on each count.
