"He said that after being arrested, the players had to surrender their passports and were under some travel restrictions. But the government did not confine them to their hotel. That was the school's decision.

All five people at the news conference also thanked the Chinese police and government for their handling of the situation."

""I'd also like to thank President Trump and the United States government for the help that they provided as well," Ball said.

Riley said: "To President Trump and the United States government: Thank you for taking the time to intervene on our behalf. We really appreciate you helping us out."

"Thank you to the United States government and President Trump for your efforts to bring us home," Hill said.

Guerrero offered some details on the incident. He said that the players stole from three stores, were arrested and posted bail of about $2,200. That money has since been refunded as charges were withdrawn."

Also " UCLA freshmen LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill have been suspended from the basketball team indefinitely after returning from a trip to China, where they were held for shoplifting."
