Citizens of China, Russia, and Iran were able to make nearly 30,000 visits to sensitive American research facilities during the Biden administration, according to new data that was released by US Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA). In total, 28,028 Chinese nationals, 304 Iranians, and 1,608 Russians were able to gain access to labs that were being run by the Department of Energy.
“While Iran’s regime chanted ‘Death to America,’ the Biden administration rolled out the red carpet for Iranian foreign nationals to enter our National Labs,” Ernst told the New York Post. “They also gave entry to thousands of Chinese nationals and hundreds of Russians, who could then access and potentially steal American research.”

The length of the visits by the foreign nationals from the adversarial nations ranged from a few hours to months at a time. Some were even given remote access to the research labs, according to the report. The department has over 17 federally funded laboratories in the country. Additionally, under the Unclassified Foreign National Access Program, those from adversarial countries to the US are supposed to be reviewed with counterintelligence assessments.
“This process includes, at a minimum, the completion of intelligence indices checks, with additional local counterintelligence vetting conducted when dictated by factors such as the facility being visited, the duration of the visit, and the science and technology involved,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a letter to Ernst.
