Chinese migrant wanted for LA murder brazenly tries to sneak back into US, finally gets caught: sources

A Chinese migrant , who was wanted for murder in Los Angeles, was caught and arrested after waltzing back over the border and turning himself into authorities, expecting to be released into the US, according to Homeland Security sources.

The migrant — whose name is Junnan Ge — was arrested in the San Diego area June 14 with a large group of migrants who turned themselves in to border agents in the hopes of bering allowed to enter the country, sources told The Post.

Border agents ran background checks during arrest — and discovered that Ge, 37, had a warrant dating back to 2004 from Los Angeles for allegedly killing another person.

Ge also crossed the border in 2011 after the alleged murder. However, it’s not clear whether he was released into the US or removed from the country at the time.

Border agents have told The Post that their vetting procedures are neither exhaustive nor foolproof — and agents know they have released bad actors into the US without knowing it.

Still, they have been able to catch 587 illegal migrants with warrants and more than 10,000 people convicted of crimes since October 2023, according to federal data.

Meanwhile, migrants from China have flocked to the US illegally in record numbers.

Border agents have recorded more than 30,000 crossings by Chinese nationals since last October, according to internal data previously leaked to The Post.

That number already surpasses the 24,000 who were caught crossing in the last fiscal year.

For comparison, in fiscal year 2021, there were just 342 Chinese migrants who crossed.

Chinese migrants are mainly flocking to the San Diego region, which is where most migrants have been crossing in recent months.

In an attempt to crack down on illegal crossings — the Biden administration implemented a policy on June 5 that restricts access to the asylum system until the number of people crossing drops to an average of 1,500 per day for seven consecutive days.

In San Diego, however, migrants from more than 100 countries in the eastern hemisphere — including China — are exempt from the order and are largely being released into the US with future court dates, according to a leaked memo first obtained by the Washington Examiner.

A spokesperson for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) didn’t immediately respond when reached for comment.
