- On November 26, 2025, two members of the West Virginia National Guard were critically injured in a shooting incident near the White House in Washington, D.C. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, had previously worked with the CIA in Afghanistan and is believed to have targeted the guardsmen in an ambush-style attack.
- This incident has sparked outrage among Republicans on Capitol Hill, who are now calling for stricter immigration policies. The involvement of a former Afghan national who had ties to U.S. intelligence raises significant concerns regarding the vetting processes for immigrants and refugees entering the United States.
- The shooting has reignited debates over national security and immigration reform, particularly in the context of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the subsequent resettlement of Afghan nationals. The incident has prompted discussions about the implications for U.S. military personnel and the safety of those who have served alongside American forces, as well as the broader impact on U.S. immigration policy.
