(VitalNews.org) – A striking indictment of an illegal alien in California underscores a chilling threat to American security and our global standing.

With $2 million transactions and shipments of military arms to North Korea, the alleged actions demand thorough enforcement of immigration laws and international sanctions.
The disturbing revelations call for steely resistance against foreign influences undermining U.S. sovereignty.
Shenghua Wen, arrested in Ontario, California, is accused of shipping weapons to North Korea for a planned attack on South Korea.
Wen’s student visa expired in 2012, yet he remained in the U.S., facilitating his subversive operations.
He allegedly shipped two containers of firearms from Long Beach, aided by North Korean officials who sanctioned his activity.
The DOJ reports Wen received specific instructions from North Korea to procure goods, for which he was paid around $2 million.
His operation involved purchasing uniforms to disguise North Korean soldiers, creating a covert network that spanned continents.
With the arrest, it became apparent these transactions posed serious global security threats, AP News stresses in a report.
Investigators uncovered Wen’s purchase of Super Armory in 2023 to mask weapon shipments as refrigerator parts.
The FBI seized 50,000 rounds of ammunition from his home, along with military equipment intended for North Korea’s use.
This was before authorities discovered devices designed for chemical threat identification and near-field detection, further implicating him in military preparations.
“The conduct alleged in this complaint is chilling. One of our foreign adversaries, North Korea, was running an operative in our country and using that operative to obtain high-grade technology and military equipment, including firearms and ammunition. And the purpose of this allegedly, was to help conduct an attack on one of our allies, South Korea,” explained U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada.
Wen’s use of straw purchasers to acquire firearms in Texas shows a blatant exploit of loopholes in the system.
He misrepresented shipment contents as commercial goods, cleverly bypassing regulatory scrutiny, showing the lengths hostile states will go to endanger American security.
The U.S. Attorney’s office in Los Angeles emphasized the chilling nature of these revelations, pointing to North Korea’s intent to threaten a sovereign ally.
Federal agents identified the connection between planes, uniforms, and various military items, sending a clear warning about the magnitude of such threats.
“It is essential that we protect our country from hostile foreign states that have adverse interests to our nation,” Estrada concluded.
