US EditionGOP senator calls to ban, deport ‘Islam’ immigrants over National Guard shooting
Republican lawmakers seek to halt Afghan immigration and enforce stricter vetting after an Afghan national killed one National Guard member and critically injured another near the White House.
- On November 28, 2025, President Donald Trump announced that Sarah Beckstrom, 20, National Guard specialist, died after being shot near the White House, while another member fights for life.
- Lakanwal had worked with the CIA in Afghanistan and entered the United States through a Biden-era resettlement program, which Republican lawmakers said exposed vetting failures under the prior administration.
- Accused Lakanwal faces multiple charges including assault with intent to kill while armed, carrying up to 15 years, and Attorney General Pam Bondi said prosecutors would seek the death penalty.
- US Citizenship and Immigration Services halted Afghan immigration requests pending review, Sen. Rick Scott and Sen. Joni Ernst reintroduced vetting legislation, and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth deployed roughly 500 additional National Guard troops to Washington.
- Republican lawmakers demanded sweeping restrictions after the attack, with Rep. Randy Fine urging `Deny entry` and saying `We start with Afghanistan.`, intensifying partisan pressure on immigration policy.
