North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who is running for governor of the state, said Saturday on Newsmax that he has not yet gotten a response from the Biden administration concerning the arrest of an immigrant whose name is on the federal terrorism watchlist.
"President Biden came to our state. He chose to talk about health care," Robinson, a Republican, said on Newsmax's "America Right Now." "The North Carolina Legislature has already spoken on health care and has done things to make sure that North Carolinians have great health care."
The federal government reached out after Hagos was fingerprinted to tell local officials not to release him, as he was on the terrorism watchlist. "Of course there are going to be sanctuary cities, because there are going to be folks that are going to know that if they break American law by crossing our border illegally, they can come to those counties and they will not be held," Robinson said. "My opponent has been clear that he does not plan on defending the people of North Carolina. He never has and he never will."
"I've made the statement time and time again," he said."I'm not against anybody having their right to believe ... We've reached a point in this country where now folks who are contrary to what other people believe start groups and believe they can no longer voice their opinion."
