"Mr Trump described Afghanistan as "a hellhole on earth" and he said his administration would review everyone who entered from the country under President Joe Biden - a measure his administration had already been planning before the incident. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services announced it would indefinitely stop processing all immigration requests for Afghan nationals pending a review of security and vetting protocols. During his remarks, Mr Trump also swung his focus to Minnesota, where he complained about "hundreds of thousands of Somalians" who are "ripping apart that once-great state.""
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser described the attack on two National Guard members as a "targeted shooting" and said both victims were in critical condition. Law enforcement officials identified a suspect as a 29-year-old Afghan national who entered the US in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome; the suspect, named by officials as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was shot and sustained non-life-threatening wounds while authorities worked to confirm his background. Former President Trump condemned the attack as a "heinous assault," blamed lax migration policies, and called for reviews; US Citizenship and Immigration Services paused Afghan immigration processing pending a vetting review.
