The affidavit said there is probable cause to find Grabinski “willfully injured, damaged, or destroyed, or attempted to injure, damage, or destroy, any property — real or personal — located within the United States and belonging to or utilized or occupied by any foreign government or international organization.
Another Secret Service agent initiated a stop soon after and identified Grabinski by his Illinois state ID. Grabinski told the officer he traveled from Chicago to Washington to “show his discontent for the Chinese government,” according to the affidavit.
