"You say he was radicalized here, Welker began. This suspect, we should note, was a member of the CIA trained strike force. According to former intelligence and military officials, he would've undergone extensive vetting during his tenure there. And afterwards, it is worth noting, Citizenship and Immigration Services, an agency which is a part of DHS, approved the suspect's asylum application in April of this year."
"The vetting process, Kristen, happens when the person comes into the country. And Joe Biden completely did not vet any of these individuals, did not vet this individual. Waited until he got into the United States, and then that application for asylum was opened under the Joe Biden administration, when he was the president in the White House, and allowed that to go forward with the information that they provided."
Kristen Welker probed whether the Trump administration fully vetted the suspected National Guard shooter from Afghanistan when it granted him asylum last spring. Kristi Noem said vetting occurs upon entry and attributed responsibility to the Biden administration after the fall of Kabul. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, is accused of killing one National Guardsman and critically wounding another the day before Thanksgiving. Trump administration officials blamed Biden for allowing refugees to enter without full vetting. The suspect reportedly served in a CIA-trained strike force and Citizenship and Immigration Services approved his asylum application in April.
