Republican Governor Candidate Seeks Explanation Following Arrest of Undocumented Terrorism Suspect
NC Lt. Governor Demands Transparency Over Apprehension of Suspected Watchlisted Individual
In an assertive move, North Carolina Lt. Governor Mark Robinson dispatched a stringent letter to President Joe Biden, calling for a detailed explanation regarding the arrest of an undocumented individual suspected to be on the DHS terrorist watchlist within state borders.
The communication issued by Robinson, who is steering the Republican campaign for the governor’s seat this fall, demands a full account of the circumstances leading up to the capture of 32-year-old Awet Hagos. Hagos found himself in custody following an episode of gunfire at his workplace.
Levied with multiple charges, including assault on a government official and resisting arrest, Hagos may be facing additional legal repercussions as investigations proceed.
Robinson’s Pressing Questions
Raising concerns about national security and local safety, Robinson seeks to uncover critical details through pressing inquiries, including:
- Hagos’ status on the terrorist watch list
- Suspected terrorist affiliations and actions
- Possibility of cohorts in potential criminal activities
- His mode and path of entry into the U.S.
- Details about his travel within North Carolina
- Protocols following his denied American citizenship application
- Any other potential threats in the state linked to Hagos
The incident, reported by The Roanoke-Chowan News-Herald, unfolded at a Quick Stop convenience store where Hagos engaged in a standoff with law enforcement, resisting arrest robustly.
Escaping to his dwelling, Hagos became ensconced within, prompting a tense standoff that lasted hours and involved a dangerous altercation over a sheriff deputy’s rifle.
Robinson emphasized the urgency of receiving answers, linking this incident to a broader pattern of attacks on North Carolina’s infrastructure, such as cyberattacks and the targeted sabotage of energy facilities.
The Lt. Governor’s concerns are compounded by the proximity of Hagos’ residence to significant military installations, amplifying the potential risk profile. The critical nature of these military sites in the region heightens the necessity for clarity on Hagos’ background and intentions.
Adding context to Hagos’ background, reports from WAVY TV 10 indicate that he hails from an African region close to Yemen and has a history in Haiti. Before his unsettling arrival in North Carolina, Hagos was a resident of California—a state recognized for its sanctuary policies.
Held on a sizable bond, Hagos remains incarcerated with ICE pressing for custody, signaling potential deportation actions due to his illegal residency status.
