"One of the two critically injured National Guard members in a shooting near the White House on Wednesday has died, while the other is fighting for his life. According to US law enforcement sources, the suspect is a 29-year-old Afghan refugee, who entered the US in September 2021. From his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, President Donald Trump condemnedthe attack as an "act of terror" and blamed the Biden administration for admitting the alleged shooter after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021."
"DW Fact check: False While immigration numbers have surged under Biden, Trump's figures are far from reality. According to an analysis by the Migration Policy Institute, based on official data, including the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), as of July 2024, "more than 5.8 million migrants had been paroled into the country or otherwise allowed entry to pursue asylum applications and other immigration cases.""
One National Guard member killed and another critically injured in a shooting near the White House. Law enforcement identified the suspect as a 29-year-old Afghan refugee who entered the United States in September 2021. President Donald Trump labeled the incident an "act of terror" and blamed the Biden administration for admitting the alleged shooter after the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. Fact-checking shows Trump's claim that the prior administration admitted 20 million unknown and unvetted foreigners is false. Migration Policy Institute and DHS-based data show more than 5.8 million migrants paroled as of July 2024 and about 10.8 million CBP encounters; totals do not reach 20 million.
