According to ABC 7 NY, Sun held numerous positions in New York state government before becoming Hochul’s deputy chief of staff. “The 64-page indictment accuses Linda Sun, 41, who was arrested that morning along with her husband, Christopher Hu, 40, of blocking representatives from Taiwan’s governor from visiting the New York governor’s office. Sun and Hu also laundered kickbacks she received from the People’s Republic of China and Chinese Communist Party to buy a $4.1 million Long Island home that FBI agents later raided, the indictment contends,” Chief Nerd wrote, citing the New York Post. “The former high-ranking aide for Gov.

ABC 7 NY reports: Prosecutors said Sun, at the request of Chinese officials, blocked representatives of the Taiwanese government from having access to high-level officials in New York state, altered state governmental messaging on issues related to the Chinese government and attempted to facilitate a trip to China for a high-level politician in New York, among other things.

A U.S. federal appeals court upheld a federal law that prohibits migrants in the United States illegally from possessing firearms. A three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Second Amendment rights do not apply to those who have illegally entered the country. BREAKING: Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans has ruled that illegal immigrants do not have the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment. — Leading Report (@LeadingReport) September 2, 2024 Per Fox News: The ruling came in an appeal by Jose Paz Medina-Cantu, who had been arrested by Border Patrol agents in Texas in 2022 and charged with illegally possessing a handgun and unlawfully re-entering the country after being previously deported. Medina-Cantu pleaded guilty and was sentenced last year to 15 months in prison, but he preserved the right to argue on appeal that the gun charge violated his right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment. His lawyers based their argument on the 2022 landmark New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen decision by the Supreme Court’s 6-3 conservative majority that established a new standard to determine whether a law violates the Second Amendment.

Finally, some common sense! Now, apply that ruling to all the rights that we as citizens have.https://t.co/MLZ5rZI5Ki — Andrew45 #MAGAdonian (@AndrewPatriot_) August 30, 2024 Reuters reports: Medina-Cantu’s lawyers argued the ruling likewise undermined a 2011 decision by the 5th Circuit upholding the immigration-related ban as there was no historical tradition dating back to around when the Second Amendment was adopted in 1791 of disarming people based solely on their immigration status. But the three-judge panel said the Supreme Court’s recent rulings on gun rights “did not unequivocally abrogate our precedent that the plain text of the Second Amendment does not encompass illegal aliens.”
