President Donald Trump blamed his predecessor on Wednesday for letting the suspected gunman linked to the National Guard shooting in Washington, D.C., enter the United States four years ago.
The suspect has been identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who reportedly arrived in the U.S. under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome. The operation was established following the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021.

Trump criticized former President Joe Biden for overseeing the post-Afghanistan immigration policy.
“He was flown in by the Biden administration in September 2021 on those infamous flights that everybody was talking about,” Trump said in a televised address from West Palm Beach, Florida. He was not present at the White House when the shooting occurred shortly after 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
“Nobody knew who was coming in. Nobody knew anything about it,” the president added. “His status was extended under legislation signed by President Biden, a disastrous president, the worst in the history of our country.”
Lakanwal overstayed his visa, which reportedly expired in September this year. His last address was recorded in Washington state.
Without naming the suspect, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed he was an Afghan national who took advantage of Biden’s lax immigration policy.

“Lakanwal had previously worked in Afghanistan with the CIA, according to the agency’s director, John Ratcliffe. He was granted asylum in April by the Trump administration, multiple law enforcement officials told CNN.”
So I guess this was all Biden’s fault, that orange idiot had nothing to do with this. Funny how the news of the trump admin granting asylum to this killer was never mentioned here. Keep hiding under your rock and everything will be better on day one.
