ICE Arrests Chinese Billionaire Owner of Failed Casino on US Island
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested Cui Lijie, a Chinese national and key figure behind a lavish casino on Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. unincorporated territory in the West Pacific. Cui was the majority shareholder of Hong Kong-based Imperial Pacific International LLC, a now-bankrupt Chinese investment holding company that possessed the island's only casino license.
The arrest comes as the Trump administration has dramatically ramped up efforts to detain and deport undocumented immigrants, while citing sweeping discretionary powers that a number of legal experts have said in some cases may violate due process and other rights.
