President Donald Trump said the suspect in the shooting of National Guardsmen had entered the country thanks to Biden-era policies
The US has suspended the processing of all immigration requests from Afghan nationals after an Afghan asylum-seeker was identified as the suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC.
The decision came after Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said the suspect was “an Afghan national who was one of the many unvetted, mass-paroled into the United States under Operation Allies Welcome on September 8, 2021, under the Biden administration.”
Multiple media outlets reported earlier that the suspect, who allegedly critically injured two guardsmen in an ambush-style attack on Wednesday, is Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the US in 2021 and was granted asylum earlier this year.
