North Carolina officials are demanding answers from President Joe Biden’s administration on an illegal alien allegedly on the federal government’s “Terror Watch List” who has been arrested in Gates County following a standoff with police.
Awet Hagos, a 32-year-old citizen of Eritrea, was arrested in Gates County, North Carolina, this month following a four-hour standoff with police. The standoff came after Hagos allegedly fired gunshots at a Quick Stop and then tried to take the gun of an officer arresting him.
Local reports indicate that Hagos recently moved to Gates County from Oakland, California. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has confirmed that Hagos arrived in the United States in 2016 on a nonimmigrant visa but overstayed that visa, making him an illegal alien.
After his four-hour standoff with police on Monday, March 11, an “extremely combative” Hagos was finally taken into custody and charged with three counts of assault on a government official, three counts of resisting a public officer, and one count of carrying a concealed weapon, Fox News reported.
He is being held on a $100,000 secured bond at the Albemarle District Jail.
The News & Observer, a local North Carolina news outlet, confirmed that Hagos is a citizen of Eritrea, a small country near Yemen on the coast of Northeast Africa on the Red Sea.
Breitbart notes that Gates County Sheriff Ray Campbell said federal officials told him that Hagos is listed on the FBI Terror Watch List, but ICE officials have not confirmed that.
Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) and other North Carolina officials are demanding answers on exactly when Hagos entered the U.S. and whether he is, in fact, on the terror watch list.

When a reporter asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about Hagos, she had no idea who he was.
