❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. Navy sailors have been charged with conspiracy to commit marriage fraud in a scheme involving sham marriages with Chinese nationals, raising concerns over national security risks.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Navy sailors Jacinth Bailey and Morgan Chambers, along with unnamed conspirators and Chinese nationals.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The scheme dates back to September 2024 and centers around the U.S. Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida.

💬KEY QUOTE: “It’s a huge issue for the Navy. It involves the screening of personnel. It involves the training of personnel, it involves discipline, and you’ve seen recruitment, training, and discipline deteriorate in the Navy over recent years.” – J. Michael Waller, former CIA operative.

🎯IMPACT: The case highlights vulnerabilities in U.S. national security, especially concerning so-called green card marriages.

A federal case involving two U.S. Navy sailors accused of entering sham marriages with Chinese nationals has intensified concerns about national security vulnerabilities and foreign intelligence activity targeting the American military. Jacinth Bailey and Morgan Chambers, both stationed in Jacksonville, Florida, were charged with conspiracy to commit marriage fraud after allegedly accepting tens of thousands of dollars to marry Chinese nationals so they could obtain permanent residency in the United States.

According to court documents, Bailey, who was assigned to the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, was offered $45,000 to participate in the scheme, while Chambers was allegedly offered $35,000. Prosecutors say the plan involved marrying the foreign national, helping them secure a green card, and later divorcing them.

Investigators allege the operation deliberately sought out U.S. service members because of their access to sensitive military facilities. Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operative J. Michael Waller described the scheme as a “targeted intelligence recruitment and collection operation” designed to gain access to Naval Air Station Jacksonville through marriage-based base credentials. He warned that such access could pose serious risks to U.S. national security.

Waller also said the case reflects deeper structural issues within the Navy, stating, “It’s a huge issue for the Navy. It involves the screening of personnel. It involves the training of personnel, it involves discipline, and you’ve seen recruitment, training, and discipline deteriorate in the Navy over recent years. It’s only starting to come back.”

If convicted, Bailey and Chambers each face up to five years in federal prison. Their case comes amid a series of recent prosecutions highlighting Chinese espionage efforts against the United States. In 2025, for instance, a former Navy sailor was found guilty of spying for China after passing sensitive military information to Chinese intelligence handlers while holding a security clearance. That same year, a former State Department official was sentenced to four years in prison for providing classified national defense information to individuals linked to the Chinese government.

In another notable case, a former CIA officer was sentenced to ten years in federal prison after admitting he supplied classified intelligence to China over an extended period.
