Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) criticized the Trump administration’s pause of all asylum decisions in the wake of the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington, D.C., and President Trump’s vow to “permanently pause” all migration from “Third World Countries.” “Don't say that people who come from third world countries are bad,” Kaine says. “It’s wrong to target them all for the bad actions of an individual.”

The Trump administration is scaling back on its crackdown on asylum, now allowing immigrants from several countries to apply for asylum in the U.S. The pause on asylum was put on pause after an Afghan man, who was granted asylum in the U.S. in 2025, shot two members of the National Guard in Washington, D.C. – killing one of them. The pause on asylum was only partially lifted, with Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, Afghanistan, Nigeria and others still facing a so-called travel ban. People from these countries still cannot be granted asylum.

Both the Biden and Trump administrations had multiple opportunities to screen Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the Afghan national accused of shooting and killing a National Guard member near the White House on Wednesday, Camilo Montoya-Galvez . Lakanwal arrived in September 2021 as part of Operation Allies Welcome under the Biden administration after the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, received humanitarian parole, and was later granted asylum by the Trump administration earlier this year. The CIA said Thursday that Lakanwal previously worked with the U.S. government, including the CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar that ended in 2021 following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed Sunday that the suspect was "radicalized since he's been here in this country."

The 29-year-old Afghan man who shot two newly sworn-in West Virginia National Guard members in Washington DC had previously worked with CIA-backed militias in Kandahar, the agency confirmed. Rahmanullah Lakanwal entered the US in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome and received asylum this year under Trump. According to CIA director John Ratcliffe, Lakanwal served in CIA-run counterterrorism units in Kandahar, including the Zero Units — notorious squads used in night raids alongside US special forces and long accused of extrajudicial killings and disappearances. The New York Times reported that a childhood friend said Lakanwal “could not tolerate” the violence of the CIA-backed unit he served in. Prosecutors say he carried out a planned, targeted attack yesterday with a .357 revolver before being shot and detained. Both guard members remain in critical condition. The FBI is treating the case as terrorism, and USCIS has halted all Afghan immigration requests. 🎥 Video: jeremy scahill on Democracy Now! discussing American night-raid operations in Afghanistan: “When you think about the collective punishment that’s been meted out against people, based largely on false intelligence, you understand why the United States is failing in Afghanistan.” (2010)

President Donald Trump called a journalist "stupid" for attempting to fact-check his claim that the Biden administration didn’t vet Afghan nationals who came to the United States, related to the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington. After Trump claimed that Afghans fleeing the Taliban were never vetted under a Biden-era program, CBS News White House correspondent Nancy Cordes offered additional reporting and asked a follow-up question. "Your [Department of Justice Inspector General] just reported this year that there was thorough vetting by DHS and by the FBI of these Afghans who were brought into the U.S.," Cordes said, asking why Trump blamed the Biden administration. "Because they let them in," Trump said Thursday. “Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?” "They came in on a plane along with thousands of other people that shouldn't be here, and you're just asking questions because you're a stupid person," Trump said. Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the suspect who has been charged for shooting two West Virginia National Guard members in Washington, D.C., worked with the CIA in Afghanistan and entered the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome. One of the victims, Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, died Thursday following the shooting. Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said Friday. Charges against Lakanwal were upgraded to first-degree murder on Friday.

After the World Wars, Germany and Japan rebuilt their countries, but why couldn’t Afghanistan? Because their neighbors were not Pakistanis, Prof: Obaidullah Baheer adds. Pakistan even violates the basic principles and ethics of hostility. Rahmanullah, who killed 2 National Guard soldiers in DC a few days ago, was mentally ill - this had been proven, and even his friends had confirmed it. But #Pakistan, in its official statement, linked this incident to all Afghans and to the whole of #Afghanistan. Rahmanullah had been trained many years ago by the #CIA as a professional killer since the age of 15, and he was involved in war crimes inside Afghanistan. Despite this, Pakistan - as a dishonorable neighbor - is happy about the occupation and bombing of Afghanistan; that too a country that claims to be Muslim. Today, #TTP fighters advance every single day and kill Pakistani soldiers; something that did not happen even in the worst days of the Afghan Republic. Yet Pakistan still needs us - sooner or later they will be forced to negotiate with Afghanistan about the issues between the two countries, but their false pride prevents it. As long as we Afghans remain independent, relations with Pakistan will not improve, because Pakistan never wants an independent Afghanistan.
