involving the alleged smuggling of biological material, authorities said Monday.The scientist is accused of shipping biological material months ago to staff at a laboratory at the University of Michigan. The FBI, in a court filing, described it as material related to certain worms and requires a government permit.“The guidelines for importing biological materials into the U.S. for research purposes are stringent, but clear, and actions like this undermine the legitimate work of other visiting scholars,” said John Nowak, who leads field operations at U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The scientist was interviewed and arrested Sunday after arriving on a flight from China, where she is pursuing an advanced degree at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan. She planned to spend a year completing a project at the University of Michigan.Her shipments, including an envelope stuffed inside a book, were intercepted last year and earlier this year and opened by authorities, the FBI said.

The court filing doesn’t indicate whether the FBI believes the biological material was dangerous, though U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon Jr. said smuggling “threatens our security.”

The scientist remains in custody awaiting a bond hearing Wednesday.Tom Homan, the Trump administration’s border czar, previously warned that anyone, including public officials, would be arrested if they obstructed federal immigration enforcement.

Newsom’s initial response to Homan, during the MSNBC interview and in subsequent posts on his own social media: “Come and get me, tough guy.”On Monday Trump seemed to agree with his border chief, telling reporters, “I would do it if I were Tom.”

“I think it’s great. Gavin likes the publicity, but I think it would be a great thing,” Trump added. “He’s done a terrible job. Look — I like Gavin, he’s a nice guy, but he’s grossly incompetent, everybody knows.”Homan later said there was “no discussion” about actually arresting Newsom, but reiterated that “no one’s above the law.”
