Last week, the DOJ charged siblings Ann Mary Zheng and Alen Zheng for allegedly trying to attack MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, FL.
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced they are children of…illegal aliens!
I. Am. Totes. Shocked. (sarcasm)
Alen Zheng faces charges of attempting to damage “government property by fire or explosion, unlawful making of a destructive device, and possession of an unregistered destructive device.”
“According to the indictment and statements made in court, on the evening of March 10, 2026, Zheng unsuccessfully attempted to detonate an improvised explosive device at the MacDill Airforce Base Visitor’s Center in Tampa. Law enforcement later discovered the device, ensured it was safely disassembled, and determined it to be an improvised explosive device,” the DOJ wrote in the press release last week.
Ann Mary Zheng’s charges include assisting after the fact. The DOJ accused her of “knowing that her brother, Alen Zheng, had attempted to damage government property by fire or explosion, assisted him in order to hinder and prevent his apprehension, trial, and punishment.”
Ann Mary also faces accusations of “corruptly altering, destroying, mutilating, and concealing a 2010 black Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 with the intent to impair its integrity and availability for use in the federal prosecution of Alen Zheng.”
It turns out that the siblings’ parents, Qiu Qin Zou and Jia Zhang Zheng, illegally entered America over 30 years ago:
In 1993, they both applied for asylum, but an immigration judge denied those claims and ordered both Zheng and Zou removed from the U.S. in 1998. The Bureau of Immigration Appeals denied multiple attempts by the pair to have their case reopened, but they illegally remained in the U.S. for decades despite being ordered removed almost 30 years ago.
DHS has arrested the parents, placing them in ICE custody.
“Automatically granting citizenship to children of illegal aliens born in the U.S. is based on a historically inaccurate interpretation of the Citizenship Clause and poses a major national security risk. That reality became apparent last week when two U.S.-born children of Chinese illegal aliens were indicted for planting a potentially deadly explosive device outside MacDill Air Force Base in Florida,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This incident underscores the severe national security threat that illegal immigration and birth right citizenship pose to the United States.”
Authorities arrested Ann Mary upon her return from China.
Her brother remains at large in the communist country.
