Ming Xi Zhang, known as “Sushi John,” the owner of Ya Ya Noodles in Montgomery Township, NJ, was arrested by ICE in Newark on Mar 24.
Zhang was convicted in April 2024 of acting as an unregistered agent of the 🇨🇳 government and sentenced to three years’ probation. In May 2021, he pleaded guilty to having served as an agent of China in 2016 without notifying the US Attorney General.
Zhang legally entered the US in 2000 but later “violated the terms of his lawful admission”.

“Any illegal alien conducting activities related to espionage, sabotage or export control against the United States is subject to deportation.”
Zhang met with 🇨🇳 security officials in the Bahamas in 2016 and delivered $35,000 to an unnamed individual in New Jersey. He also admitted to twice hosting a 🇨🇳 government agent at his Princeton home that fall.
He’s being held at the Elizabeth Detention Center awaiting immigration proceedings.
