Not at all, it's much more believable than the original story. Traveling scientists frequently work at national labs.

Nondisclosure agreements are civil in nature, not criminal.
They always have been, overstaying your visa is an example of a civil violation, placing it in the purvue of ICE. You have less protections/rights afforded to you in civil proceedings versus criminal ones.
