The probation for Junhua Chen, Jian Dong, and Ping Liu expired on Jan. 20, 2011, while Yi Wu’s probation expired on Jan. 21, according to Federal Probation Officer Gregory Arriola.
The defendants were sentenced to one year probation.
Part of their sentence was also to be delivered after sentencing to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for removal proceedings.
If the removal proceedings fail, the defendants would start serving their probation.
The defendants were among the 24 individuals who attempted to enter Guam from Saipan on a boat.
Among the defendants was Qingmei Cheng who was taken out of the Department of Corrections facility to give Gov. Benigno R. Fitial an early morning massage at his residence on Jan. 8, 2010.
Cheng admitted aiding and abetting the attempted improper entry by alien, and was sentenced to one-year probation in March 2010.
The federal court also credited the time already served by Cheng at the Corrections facility.
Cheng had already left the CNMI, the governor said.
