Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) successfully rescued 10 Americans trapped in Haiti this week, marking his third rescue operation in the face of global crises.
veteran said the need for the latest operation was brought to his attention by Rep. Lisa McClain , who was contacted by constituents about a group of Americans working in Haiti with the “Have Faith” orphanage, who had no way to get out.
Mills said it was partly this abandonment, and the desire to serve a “greater purpose than myself” that motivated him to continue running into dangerous situations and rescuing Americans trapped overseas. Each of the operations came with its own set of challenges, Mills said, including Haiti, where powerful gangs have taken over the government, released prisoners from the jails, and forced Haitians to live in unimaginable conditions.

Mills also slammed the Biden administration’s inaction when it comes to global crises, stating that some of the biggest obstacles he faces in the rescue operations is stonewalling from the United States government.
