The young Chinese man was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York on April 7 as he was about to board an international flight.
According to KETV, Liang had a valid visa and met a friend before driving into the United States from Canada. The outlet noted Liang told officials he knew it was illegal to take photos of the planes.
“The student was released on bail after appearing in court on Apr. 8, after surrendering his passport, as the judge overseeing the case overruled the U.S. Government’s request for detention until trial,” the Aviationist article stated. “However, a new court order on Apr. 9 saw Liang, considered a ‘flight risk’, taken back into custody where he presumably remains.”
