The Michael V. Hayden Center for Intelligence, Policy, and International Security invites you to join us as we examine the current tensions between the United States and Latin America. Illegal immigration and large-scale deportations, illicit drug smuggling, lethal US military attacks on alleged drug smuggling boats, the greatest US military buildup in the region in decades, and ramped-up friction with the Maduro regime in Venezuela and the Petro government in Colombia dominate our headlines.
Michael Morell, former acting Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, has invited three regional experts to unravel why this is happening and what comes next:
Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera: Professor, and co-director of the Terrorism, Transnational Crime, and Corruption Center, at the Schar School of Policy and Government, George Mason University.
David Fitzgerald: former senior operations officer at the Central Intelligence Agency.
Scott Hembrough: former senior analyst at the Central Intelligence Agency.
The Hayden Center is located at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government in Arlington, VA. General Hayden, our founder and former Director of both the CIA and the National Security Agency, has been a distinguished visiting professor at Schar School for 16 years.
