According to court filings in U.S. District Court in San Francisco this week, Juan Tang, who worked at the University of California, Davis, falsely claimed on her visa application that she had not served in the Chinese military. She was charged with visa fraud on June 26.A senior Justice Department official told reporters Tang was detained on Thursday night and did not have diplomatic immunity as she was not declared as a diplomatic official.
Lauren Horwood, the spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of California, said in an email that Tang would appear in court on Monday in Sacramento. Previously, an official had said Tang’s initial appearance was scheduled for Friday.
