"Donald Trump has called for his government to re-examine every Afghan immigrant who entered the US during Joe Biden's administration, after law enforcement officials identified the suspect in the shooting of two national guard members in Washington as a man from Afghanistan. A statement from the Department of Homeland Security named the suspect asRahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who entered the US under a Biden-era policy allowing Afghans set up after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021."
"Soon after that statement, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services said it had stopped processing all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals indefinitely. The suspect, who is now in custody, was also shot and had injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening, according to a law enforcement official not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity."
Trump called for re-examination of every Afghan immigrant who entered the US during Biden's administration after law enforcement identified the suspect in the shooting of two national guard members in Washington as an Afghan national. The Department of Homeland Security named the suspect as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old who entered under a Biden-era policy and was granted asylum earlier this year. The shooting occurred near the Farragut West metro station, close to the White House, leaving two national guard members in critical condition. The suspect was shot, taken into custody, and his injuries are not believed to be life-threatening. USCIS halted processing of Afghan-related immigration requests indefinitely.
