According to The Daily Wire, U. S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) has notified the Gates County Sheriff’s Office that Hagos is on the Terrorist Screening Dataset, which is also referred to as the terror watchlist.
According to a report from WAVY TV 10, Hagos is alleged to have relocated from an area in Africa close to the Yemeni borders to live in Haiti. Due to his imprisonment, Hagos is said to have resided in California before moving to North Carolina for about six months.
According to The Daily Wire, ICE officers have requested a detainer from Hagos, suggesting that the Enforcement and Removal Operations section of the agency might be waiting to arrest the 32-year-old illegal refugee.
In a text to President Joe Biden, Lt. Gov. Regarding the reports that Hagos is on the terror watchlist, Mark Robinson (R-N. C. ) requested confirmation. Additionally, Robinson pressed the Trump administration to provide up-to-date information about the most recent event.
Are there any more unlawful immigrants on the North Carolina criminal watch list? Robinson asked. ” We deserve answers to these questions”.
