Good thing the border has been erased so that we’re not “racist” anymore, eh?
“Sheriff: Gates County barricade subject on terror watch list,” by Jimmy LaRoue, WAVY, March 14, 2024:
GATES COUNTY, N.C. (WAVY) — A man who was taken into custody following a barricade situation in Gates County earlier this week was found to be on a terrorist watch list and had been in the area for six months.
Gates County Sheriff’s deputies were sent to U.S. 13 South and Barfield Road for reports of gunshots, and they got to the scene and found a man, later identified as Awet Hagos, standing outside of a business discharging a firearm.
Hagos became combative and tried to disarm a deputy of their rifle as he fled into his residence, the sheriff’s office said, but was later taken into custody after a four-hour standoff. Gates County Sheriff Ray Campbell said he responded aggressively to the deputies, and they had to Tase him several times during the scuffle.
Hagos was 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.
Campbell said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement got in touch and said that, after running his fingerprints, it determined that Hagos was on the terrorist watch list and had been in the area for about six months.
Campbell said Hagos, who had previously lived in Haiti and is from an area of Africa near the Yemen border, had been brought into the area by the owner of the Carolina Quick Stop store, where the incident took place, according to the sheriff’s office….
“How Did A Migrant On The FBI’s Terrorist Watch List Get To North Carolina?,” by Todd Bensman, The Federalist, March 20, 2024:
Only after Awet Hagos was arrested on assault and weapons charges in North Carolina did ICE run fingerprints and find that he was on the terror watch list.
AUSTIN, Texas — With an immigrant terrorism scare far from the U.S.-Mexico border amid the worst mass migration crisis in American history, North Carolina now officially joins the no longer very exclusive “every-state-is-a-border state” club.
An immigrant reportedly from Yemen or from an area near Yemen in North Carolina’s rural northwest Gates County began firing a rifle outside a Carolina Quick Stop store in the small town of Eure, then attacked responding Gates County Sheriff’s deputies and barricaded himself in a four-hour standoff with them. After the eventual arrest on assault and weapons charges, Sheriff Ray Campbell reported that Awet Hagos of Yemen was on the FBI’s terrorism watch list and that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) wanted him on an arrest warrant “detainer.”
Only after all this did ICE run fingerprints and find that Hagos was on the terror watch list and had somehow made his way to Haiti and, from there, the United States. He’d been living in the area for six months, the sheriff later told local news, apparently sponsored by the Quick Stop store….

“Only in America.” Not really now that mozlums are everywhere and emboldened to carry out all manner of evil.
Some ‘judge’ has even *ruled* that those who are in the country illegally, can own and carry firearms.
“A federal judge in Illinois appointed by President Barack Obama ruled that the Constitution protects the rights of noncitizens who enter the US illegally after a Mexican immigrant living in Chicago was found in possession of a handgun.
US District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman ruled earlier this month that a federal ban on undocumented immigrants owning firearms is unconstitutional, and dismissed charges against Heriberto Carbajal-Flores, who was arrested in 2020 after violating a federal law that prohibits noncitizens from possessing guns.
Coleman ruled that since Carbajal-Flores has no criminal record and the circumstances behind his arrest were not violent, he should not be deprived of his Second Amendment right to bear arms in self-defense, Fox News Digital reported.”
But, these same people are all in favor of legal citizens handing over their guns; that the Constitution guarantee doesn’t apply to them….if biden and the gang have their way. The guy in this court case was here **illegally** which means he is a criminal and has a record.
And a question for ICE and the other feds: what good is a terror watch list if no one reads it. If no one consults it before giving the green light for every hagos, mo, and ahmed to come on in?

When I read what’s described in this article more than a week ago, I looked for news reports from the state, but found only the one describing Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson’s demands for answers on the information that’s being withheld; nothing else. Still very little reporting.
Here’s an incident reported yesterday (and I doubt Estep is actually from Monroe, NC):
“Someone called 911 at about 1 p.m. to say there was a man wearing body armor and armed with a long rifle who was walking into the grocery entrance of the Walmart.
Moja Kemet Estep, 32, of Monroe, was wearing a bulletproof vest, carrying an assault-type rifle, and two handguns, police said.”

Expect much more of this.

Thanks for that link. did you notice it said “there was no danger to the public” but he was charged with “terror” to the people?
And this ““It appears this person had more than one gun and so sometimes that can be scary to people,” said Vicki Foster,”
“Sometimes that can be scary”….esp since the guy was wearing body armor.
Fools are in charge.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes, they are.
SC says
Why is he still alive? Now we gotta pay for a trial, dozens of appeals, then keep him in prison for decades.
SC says
It was 5 years after arriving as an immigrant in the USA before I was allowed to buy a firearm. How ling has he been here, did he pass a NICS check or just steal the gun.sc
Hoi Polloi says
Yes to the treatment of those who obey the law vs. what we have now. What is of particular concern to me is all the weapons left behind in Afghanistan and those they admit have gone missing in Ukraine; doubtless some serious firepower is entering with the terrorists crossing the non-border.
HENRY says
As a young man from Virginia that would drive down to the Outer Banks often I learned that Carolina cops didn’t play around.
Their hands would be on the grip of their service pistols if they approached you about a parking ticket.
It’s a miracle they didn’t pack this POS into a hearse instead of a cop car.

Ah, they have to be very careful these days don’t they?

I’m working in Charlotte now, but only live here part time. I’ve noticed this area is very blue. Was in an Uber car recently and the driver was from Pakistan. Nice but very vocal about his religion.
James Lincoln says
Joe,
Say the wrong thing about islam, and that Pakistani Uber driver could turn on you in a second.
