EXCLUSIVE: Chinese Gov’t-Tied Network Training Illegal Immigrants To Drive Big Rigs In US 1/2

October 06, 2025

Chinese illegal immigrants are obtaining commercial driver’s licenses (CDL) and landing jobs in the U.S. trucking industry with support from a Chinese government-linked network, a Daily Caller News Foundation investigation discovered.

The Chinese American Trucker Organization USA Inc. (CATOU) is a New York-based nonprofit trade organization registered as a 501(c)6 that has allegedly helped over 1,000 Chinese students obtain CDLs and has a 100% pass rate, according to its business filings, social media posts and website. Videos posted on social media by an individual who crossedthe U.S. southern border illegally shows they were able to rapidly obtain California CDLs after taking courses taught by CATOU instructors.

The public safety concern presented by truckers with unknown criminal backgrounds and driving records is compounded by CATOU’s board chairwoman, Geng Hang, who has held leadership roles within organizations operating as arms of the Chinese government and a Chinese Communist Party(CCP) influence and intelligence agency called the United Front Work Department (UFWD), according to DCNF translations of announcements from those entities.

“No way American citizens voted for the California gateway for illegal migrants to operate heavy vehicles throughout America. That of itself is a public safety and homeland security concern,” Steve Yates, senior research fellow for China and national security policy at the Heritage Foundation, told the DCNF.

“Having a large CCP-tied network further train, certify, and place ‘their’ illegal migrants throughout vital surface shipping routes — urban, rural, and interstate — elevates national security risks,” Yates said. “At a time of high tension, crisis, or conflict with the CCP, what confidence could we have this network could not and would not be used against us?”

CATOU and Geng did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

‘Not One Has Failed So Far’

Chinese social media posts show CATOU instructors teaching students about the trucking industry inside the New York office of Red Apple Employment Agency, which is also led by Geng, and helps Chinese nationals both with and “without proper status” find work for “$80 to $100 per job placement,” The Wall Street Journal reported in July 2024.

While the DCNF found no New York business filing for Red Apple Employment Agency, the agency’s office displays signs featuring both CATOU and its name, videos posted by CATOU on Chinese social media reveal.

CATOU members have also taught truck driving courses at 7 CDL Driving School in Manassas, Virginia, videos within posts from the X account @tiange999 show. The driving school shares its address with a trucking company that Geng owns called Red Apple Enterprises Inc., according to business filings and 7 CDL’s website.

“The driving school where I’m studying has trained over 1,000 Chinese students and not one has failed so far,” @tiange999 wrote in a September 2024 X post featuring videos filmed with a CATOU instructor at 7 CDL Driving School, according to a DCNF translation. “Experienced students can pass in just one week, while those with no driving experience pass in about a month.”

The @tiange999 account is operated by a Chinese national who traveled up from South America and Central America into North America before crossing the U.S. southern border in June 2023. The owner of the account has since referred to himself as someone who “walked the line,” which is a “euphemism for illegal migration out of China,” Simon Hankinson, senior research fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Center For Border Security and Immigration, testified during a May 2024 hearing held by the House Committee on Homeland Security’s Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability.

Roughly 8.5 million illegal aliens were encountered at the U.S. southern border during the Biden administration, including over 182,000 Chinese nationals from fiscal years 2021-2024, a spokeswoman for Customs and Border Protection told the DCNF.

The @tiange999 account also features videos detailing how he passed the CDL test at 7 CDL Driving School and ultimately obtained CDL qualification in less than two months after first announcing he’d received a California driver’s license in August 2024.

More recent posts show @tiange999 driving a coach bus with identification numbers revealing his employer to be NC Transfer Inc., which has branches in North Carolina and New York, according to business filings.

The Trump administration is ramping up scrutiny of the trucking industry following a deadly August 2025 crash in Florida involving an illegal immigrant truck driver with a California CDL, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The truck driver has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide and a preliminary Department of Transportation (DOT) investigation allegedly discovered he “did not speak English.”

“I would say just the drivers alone is not scary enough on the national security front,” Justin Martin, a 15-year trucking industry veteran, told the DCNF.

“These guys are already here, and they’re already operating, and it doesn’t matter how many of these trucks you catch or how many of these drivers you shut down, they’re just going to get hired somewhere else until they start going after the companies and the owners of these companies and shutting them down and preventing them from coming back,” Martin said.

‘Foreign Actors’

CATOU’s chairwoman, Geng, has served as an official in multiple organizations advancing Chinese influence and intelligence efforts in the U.S., including one entity that has held meetings in the New York office shared by CATOU and Red Apple Employment Agency, according to DCNF translations of Chinese media reports, social media posts, and the organizations’ announcements.

Among other Chinese government-tied leadership positions, the website of a New York nonprofit called the American Shaanxi General Chamber of Commerce (ASGCC) identifies Geng as its deputy chairwoman, according to a DCNF translation. ASGCC operates as a branch of the Shaanxi provincial Department of Commerce as well as a “sister association” of a UFWD arm called the China Overseas Friendship Association (COFA), according to DCNF translations of ASGCC and COFA announcements.

ASGCC has repeatedly met with Chinese government officials, including in June 2009, when the nonprofit welcomed a delegation from the Shaanxi government and the UFWD‘s Chinese People’s Association For Friendship With Foreign Countriesto discuss U.S. investment in China, according to DCNF translations of ASGCC announcements. Geng presented the delegation’s head with flowers at the airport, and she and other ASGCC members later serenaded the officials with songs like “Nanniwan,” which commemorates the CCP and Chinese military, according to Chinese state media.

Photos accompanying a January 2015 social media post made by ASGCC’s chairman also show ASGCC has held meetings within the shared New York office of CATOU and Red Apple Employment Agency.

“We are slowly giving over our entire trucking industry to foreign actors,” Gord Magill, a truck industry writer, told the DCNF.

“I think foreign actors are fully aware that America’s corporations engaging in wage arbitrage and wage suppressionagainst their own people are presenting opportunities for them to extract and scrape value out of the U.S. and give them some kind of strategic advantage in knowing exactly how our transportation systems work, and they’re just leveraging it for their own ends at the cost of American jobs and American motorists’ safety,” Magill said.

ASGCC, Red Apple Employment Agency, 7 CDL Driving School, Red Apple Enterprises, @tiange999, NC Transfer Inc. and DOT did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Enormous fear’: Trump’s threats against George Soros chill US non-profits

Civil society groups funded by billionaire’s charitable foundation feel vulnerable to administration’s attacks

Financial Times of course

Donald Trump has made no secret of his plan to go after George Soros.

Last month he escalated his rhetoric against the billionaire philanthropist, signing a memo that encouraged the US justice department, the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service to investigate funders of “domestic terrorism”, and naming Soros as a potential target.

His administration has also suggested it could revoke the tax exemption enjoyed by non-profit groups that administer gender-affirming care to children or assist “illegal immigration”.

Soros’s Open Society Foundations, now run by his son Alex, sits on $25bn in assets and funds hundreds of non-governmental organisations in the US and around the world. It strongly refutes all allegations of supporting violence or illegality and has vowed to fight “politically motivated attacks on civil society”.

But the White House’s threats are having a chilling effect on the hundreds of thousands of smaller charities and organisations that receive funding from the likes of OSF but lack the resources to take on the Trump administration on their own, several groups told the Financial Times.

“We should all be disturbed that the executive branch has weaponised its power against the charitable non-profit sector,” said Akilah Watkins, president of Independent Sector, which represents a range of non-profits.

“There’s downstream effect. If you are a small community organisation that doesn’t align with the priorities of this administration, you don’t have the high-powered lawyers to defend yourself.”

The groups under threat run the gamut from human rights and pro-democracy campaigners, criminal justice reform advocates, media outlets and providers of public health solutions to marginalised communities.

Some have lost staff who quit out of fear of being targeted, or are having trouble recruiting more personnel. Others have rapidly removed references to certain progressive causes from their websites.

“There’s enormous fear right now,” said Sarah Saadian, a senior vice-president at the National Council of Nonprofits. “We’re definitely hearing from non-profits who are really concerned, who are making changes to what they’re saying publicly.”

The administration’s persistent attacks on the sector — which Trump last year claimed was full of “thugs and sleazebags” — have coincided with an increase in violent threats, according to one large philanthropic group.

“Many of our grantees, as well as us as foundations have been having online threats and so forth and we’ve provided security services,” said the group’s leader.

OSF and other large grant-making organisations have been calling their grantees one-by-one in recent weeks, to reassure them of their continued financial, legal and logistical support.

“We encouraged them to stay the course and to know where to find us,” said John Palfrey, president of the MacArthur Foundation. “You’ll see that we’re spending a great deal more money, not less money.”

Some of the smaller charities are more in need of financial support than ever after funding from the US government was cut off because of their support of causes such as diversity and inclusion, climate change and foreign aid.

Watkins said: “With the retrenchment of federal dollars going into the . . . sector, a lot of non-profits are over-reliant now on private foundations. This is almost like a double blow.”

Non-profits in the US are suffering from an exodus of staff. Data compiled by The Chronicle of Philanthropy suggests at least 22,000 jobs were lost in the sector in the first six months of the year, in part because of a funding squeeze.

Such groups are also very vulnerable to changes in tax law. “OSF will survive having its tax-exempt status taken, but many NGOs won’t,” a person close to OSF and Soros said.

In recent weeks, the White House has sought to expand the definition of terrorism, widening the legal strategies at its disposal, and further threatening the public activities of some smaller groups.

Deputy attorney-general Todd Blanche suggested a small group of protesters who shouted at Trump during his recent visit to a Washington restaurant could be part of an organised group seeking to “inflict harm and terror and damage” to the US, and claimed they could face racketeering charges usually reserved for organised crime.…

Alito: Originalists must shed ‘insecure mindset’ causing worry over ‘desirable’ results

BY ELLA LEE 10/03/25 07:38 PM

Court Battles

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alitotouched on two lightning rod cases Friday in explaining the pitfalls and promises of originalism.

The conservative justice mentioned the Obergefell ruling that legalized same-sex marriage and the sweeping presidential immunity ruling the court handed down last year as he opined abouthow adherents to his legal theory of choice can go astray.

Originalism, which several justices on the high court embrace, aims to follow the Constitution as it would have been understood when it was written.

Alito described himself as a “working judicial originalist,” or ajudge who “strives to achieve originalist aims while working within the framework of our legal system.”

It’s a perspective best understood through the process of elimination, he said, asking the small crowd at the annual conference held by Antonin Scalia Law School’s Center for the Study ofthe Administrative State to envision an originalist judge driving down a highway with seven turn signs.

“Six of these, in my view, are definitely wrong turns, andthe seventh presents an originalist judge with an important choice,” Alito said.

Those wrong turns spanned “insecure” originalists who refuse to proclaim their “desirable” results to those who fly “too close to the sun,” like the Greek mythological figure Icarus.

The latter loses sight of what the Constitution’s text would have meant to ordinary people at the time it was framed and adopted, he said.

He pointed to a scholarly brief in Obergefell v. Hodges, the Supreme Court’s 2015 decision establishing a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, as a prime example.

The question in Obergefell for an originalist was whether the term “liberty” in the 14th Amendment was understood at the time of its adoption to include the right to same-sex marriage, Alito said.

He argued that the answer to that question was “unmistakable,” no matter what one may think about same-sex marriage as a matter of “morality or public policy.” But the brief’s author contended the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause established a “broad assurance of equality for all,”meaning a state could not deny the right to marriage to anyone under an originalist view.

However, he emphasized that he was “not suggesting” that the decision in that case should be overruled in commenting about it Friday.

“Obergefell is a precedent of the court that is entitled to respect afforded by the doctrine of stare decisis,” Alito said. “And as I said in my opinion for the court in Dobbs, more than once, nothing in Dobbs was meant to disturb that decision.”

Another wrong turn he termed “black-and-white originalism,” where jurists stick only to the text of the Constitution instead of examining its “very structure” — a method he claimed emerges from the “anxieties of originalism’s youth.”

Criticisms of the Supreme Court’s ruling giving largely shielding former presidents from criminal prosecution for actions they take while in office likewise fail to take this into account, Alito said.

“An immunity, I should add, that applies to all presidents,” Alito said.

Yet another wrong turn enables the “insecure mindset” that leads some originalists to worry they’re engaging in judicial activism when cases are decided in their favor.

An originalist judge should go back and check their work if their analysis under the legal theory turns out a result that “makes no sense,” he said, drawing a comparison to a scene in “Oliver Twist” where the beadle of Twist’s orphanage surmises that “the law is a ass — a idiot” if it must be applied in a particular way.

“A conscientious judge has no choice but to do what the law requires,” Alito said Friday. “But we do not have an asinine or idiotic constitution, so an originalist judge should not cavalierly or happily embrace results that defy common sense.”

He concluded his remarksby claiming that originalism furthers the common good “more than any theory” and generally produces good results. He hoped to keep the jurisprudence on course by explaining where it could go wrong, he said.

“Originalism is not easy, but if originalist judges stay in the course, I am confident that the theory can have a bright future,” he said.

By CHARLIE SUMMERS FOLLOW

A Spanish flotilla activist will remain in police custody until Wednesday after she allegedly bit a medical worker while detained in Ketziot Prison, police announce.

Prison officials say she bit the medical worker’s hand while being escorted back from a routine check-up on the eve of her deportation, which was originally scheduled for today.

However, a Beersheba Magistrate’s Courtjudge extended her remand by three more days this morning, after she was detained by police last night following the bite.

Officers brought her to the Negev’s Segev Shalom police station to be interrogated, police say.

The activist is a woman in her 50s named Reyes Rigo Cervilla. She lives on the island of Mallorcaand works as an acupuncture therapist, according to Spanish outlet El Pais.
