US EditionGOP senator calls to ban, deport ‘Islam’ immigrants over National Guard shooting
Republicans push legislation to verify Afghan vetting after a National Guard member died and another was critically injured in a White House shooting by an Afghan national.
- On November 28, 2025, an Afghan national allegedly ambushed and shot two National Guard members near the White House, Washington, D.C., killing Sarah Beckstrom, National Guard member, and severely wounding another.
- Amid mounting Republican criticism, lawmakers demanded new vetting laws as Sen. Rick Scott and Sen. Joni Ernst reintroduced bills requiring CBP to verify screening for Afghans who arrived July 2021–January 2022, while USCIS halted Afghan immigration processing pending review.
- Authorities say the accused previously worked with the CIA and entered via resettlement; prosecutors will seek the death penalty as Lakanwal faces assault with intent to kill charges carrying up to 15 years.
- Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said roughly 500 troops would deploy to Washington amid political pressure as the White House honored the National Guard in a Thanksgiving message.
- President Donald Trump called the suspect a 'savage monster' while Republicans blamed vetting failures linked to the 2021 withdrawal after months Trump called the capital a 'crime free zone.
