Anomala orientalis?
You may have rescued an invasive species.

invasive species
It looks like you are correct. HOWEVER there are no INS agents checking passports here . and i , as a retired physician, never checked passports before providing lifesaving care. ]SORRY, BUT NOT SORRY. anyway, thanx for the ID.

Good for you, Doc!
Before moving to higher ground, kindly Bug Guide editor Harsi Parker used to specialize in what I called "daring poolside rescues", uncovering some unique critters in the process. I'm glad to see you are continuing her tradition, A.D.!
