Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blames radicalization for the White House shooting, involving an Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who arrived in the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome. Lakanwal, a former U.S. government collaborator, was granted asylum by the Trump administration. The shooting resulted in one death and one injury, with Lakanwal also injured and facing murder charges. The Trump administration pauses asylum applications, with Noem suggesting insufficient vetting, contradicted by a former counterterrorism official who emphasizes extensive vetting processes for Afghan refugees.
