Hua Zhen Dong, a Chinese citizen, allegedly assaulted federal officers in State College, PA on July 9, 2026, when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers tried to arrest her. Dong, who had an immigration warrant out for her arrest, refused to comply and resisted arrest, kicking, biting, and scratching the officers. The incident occurred when ICE officers found Dong in State College, sparking an investigation that led to the indictment. The case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative to combat illegal immigration and violent crime.
The indictment, handed down by a federal grand jury, charges Dong with assaulting federal officers, a crime that carries a maximum penalty of 8 years in prison, a term of supervised release, and a fine. The investigation was conducted by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and Assistant United States Attorney Geoffrey W. MacArthur is prosecuting the case.
Dong’s alleged actions put the federal officers at risk of serious harm, highlighting the dangers faced by law enforcement personnel when dealing with uncooperative suspects. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of Operation Take Back America, which aims to protect communities from violent crime and eliminate transnational criminal organizations.
The outcome of the case will depend on the findings of the court, with a sentence to be imposed by the judge after considering the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. For now, Dong remains innocent until proven guilty, as the indictment is only an allegation.
