President Trump is taking swift action following the tragic shooting of two National Guard members in Washington D.C. on Wednesday. In a public address shortly after two National Guard members were shot in Washington D.C. just blocks from the White House, the 47th President called for all aliens who entered into the United States from Afghanistan under the Biden administration will be reexamined. Trump’s message comes after it was revealed the suspected shooter in the horrific shooting was identified as an Afghan national. The Hill reported more details on Trump’s response to the shooting: President Trump said Wednesday his administration would review the cases of individuals from Afghanistan who entered the United States during the Biden administration. Trump’s announcement came hours after two National Guard troops were shot in Washington, D.C. Trump said the suspected shooter is an Afghan national who entered the country during the Biden administration. “We must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden,” Trump said in remarks from his Mar-a-Lago property. “And we must take all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.” “If they can’t love our country, we don’t want them,” Trump added. Thousands of refugees from Afghanistan were admitted into the United States during the Biden administration, which granted protections to asylum seekers from the country.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal was allegedly lying in wait before he rounded the corner near the Farragut West Metro Station in Northwest DC around 2:15 p.m., then opened fire, striking a female guard in the chest before shooting her in the head, according to law enforcement sources. Lakanwal, who entered the country under Operation Allies Welcome and resettled in Bellingham, Washington, then allegedly fired at and struck the second guard — until a third guard stationed nearby rushed to the area and took him down, the sources said. The two armed soldiers, who were patrolling the streets when the suspect launched his rampage, were taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, authorities said. The suspect, who was reportedly shot four times, was hauled away nearly naked in an ambulance and acted alone.
