US EditionTrump Sharpens Focus on Legal Immigration After National Guard Shooting
President Trump labeled the attack a terrorist act and ordered a review of Afghan refugee vetting after one National Guard member died and another was critically wounded.
- On Wednesday, two National Guard members were shot near the White House; specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, died and the suspect who drove from Washington state is in custody.
- Rahmanullah Lakanwal migrated to the U.S. in 2021 after working with a CIA-backed Afghan Army unit, and officials say his U.S. relationship ended shortly after the Afghanistan evacuation while he lived in Bellingham, Washington, with his wife and five children.
- Prosecutors charged the suspect with assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence, warning murder charges may follow if a victim dies.
- President Trump called for a re-investigation of Afghan refugees, stating `This atrocity reminds us that we have no greater national security priority than ensuring that we have full control over the people that enter and remain in our country` and directed USCIS to review green cards, officials say.
- Officials say it's too soon to know the suspect's motive, while Jeanine Pirro cautioned it's `too soon` to determine motives amid political debate over Biden administration vetting policies.
