US EditionNoem says National Guard shooting suspect was 'radicalized' in the U.S.
Noem links suspect's U.S. radicalization to asylum vetting failures and says asylum processing is paused for re-vetting under former President Trump's standards.
- On Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said authorities believe Rahmanullah Lakanwal was radicalized in the U.S. and that asylum processing will resume after backlog clearance under Trump-era vetting standards.
- Reporting indicates Rahmanullah Lakanwal arrived in 2021 and was granted asylum this year, while Noem blamed vetting abandonment under Joe Biden, President, urging changes to the process.
- U.S. prosecutors said last week Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney, will charge Lakanwal with first-degree murder after National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom died and Andrew Wolfe remains hospitalized.
- Noem said asylum applicants and migrants must be vetted under President Trump's standards and removed if ineligible, arguing Biden's administration abandoned vetting at entry.
- Officials reported Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said investigators believe Rahmanullah Lakanwal was radicalized in his U.S. home community and will keep interviewing those who interacted with him, while Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., criticized the political response and noted prior vetting may have been insufficient.
