//BLUF: INDIA BEGINS RESCUE OPERATIONS IN HAITI. SECURITY CONCERNS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MANIFEST.//

 -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----

-International Events-

Haiti: India has begun an operation to rescue Indian nationals that have become stranded due to the recent escalation of violence. The status of the evacuation of American citizens in Haiti remains less clear. State Department representatives have indicated that roughly 1,600 Americans have requested evacuation in Port-au-Prince.

-HomeFront-

Texas: This morning a wave of more violent illegal immigrants resulted in a perimeter breach in El Paso. This comes as more favorable weather conditions allow increased human trafficking during the spring and summer months throughout Central America. AC: Though the latest riot at the border has increased the visibility of a desperate situation, the overall status of illegal immigration (and the Operation Lone Star mission) continues to be nearing a breaking point with regards to the sheer number of illegals being trafficked over the border.

North Carolina: Further details emerge regarding an incident that occurred last week involving an individual suspected of having ties to terrorism. Last week, Awet Habte Hagos was arrested in Gates County after firing a rifle outside of the convenience store where he worked. Following the police response and subsequently trying to gain control of the responding officer’s gun, he fled the scene. He was later arrested after being found hiding under a local resident’s home.

Analyst Comments: After the arrest of Awet Hagos, few details emerged regarding the case until yesterday, when it became known that Hagos has strong ties to subversive activity. Allegedly being born in Eritrea, Hagos made his way to the United States via Haiti. Though not confirmed at this time, official statements have insinuated that he was an asylum seeker. In any case, authorities claim that either his presence in the U.S. or the pretense by which he obtained entry was illegal. Additionally, he was wanted by both the FBI (where he is listed on a terror watchlist), and ICE for separate reasons. Additionally, upon searching the recreational vehicle that was his domicile, weapons and “military intelligence material” was found by the local Sheriff.
