A federal criminal complaint filed this week has drawn a direct line from the Arizona-Mexico border near Nogales to a national security investigation involving one of the U.S. Air Force’s most sensitive installations. U.S. Attorney R. Matthew Price announced the filing of charges against Qilin Wu, 35, a Chinese national accused of illegally photographing a vital military installation and military equipment at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, home to the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber fleet. According to the complaint, Wu first entered the U.S. illegally on June 22, 2023, near Nogales. He was arrested by immigration authorities at the time for being unlawfully present in the country. Court documents state Wu was released on his own recognizance because of a lack of detention space
