More than the run-of-the-mill government conspiracy. The fact that they'd had this 'prison' operating for the past years means that the President's predecessors either didn't know about it or if they did, they approved of it but Elias is the first one who wants to reach out and made a peace pact with 'them'.
So your right that there is a third party that wants to foil their pro-claimation as they were about to make a formal announcement to the world about their 'existence'. The President's advisors and those CIA agents were strongly against the President shutting down the Prison and risking national security. They said they wouldn't feel safe letting them out -- they didn't seem dangerous yet.
They would definitely assassinate their own President if he was not co-operating with the game plan.
The GF seems to have been abducted (maybe Alien abduction). The people that distracted her BF by taking him snorkling seemed planted to me. They wanted him out so they could take the GF and then conveniently wiped their records from the system.
The little girl has been kidnapped by the Govt people. BTW that girl was the GF's daughter and Mike is her grandfather.
