WASHINGTON D.C. – Chaos erupted in the nation’s capital on the eve of Thanksgiving as two West Virginia National Guardsmen were critically wounded in a “targeted shooting” just blocks from the White House.

The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, has been taken into custody.

The “Vetting” Failure Law enforcement sources confirmed that Lakanwal entered the U.S. legally in 2021 under “humanitarian parole” as part of the Biden administration’s

Operation Allies Welcome. This revelation has ignited a political firestorm regarding the vetting process of refugees.

Trump’s Fury: “They Will Pay a Steep Price” President Donald Trump, currently in Florida, did not mince words. Calling the shooter an “animal,” Trump declared the attack a direct result of “20 million unknown and unvetted foreigners” entering the country under the previous administration.

“We must now re-examine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan,” Trump stated, vowing to deploy 500 additional troops to D.C. immediately. “No country can tolerate such a risk to our very survival.”

Immediate Policy Consequences The fallout was instantaneous. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced they are stopping “indefinitely” the processing of all immigration requests related to Afghan nationals to review security protocols.

Confusion and Prayer In a heartbreaking turn of events, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey initially reported the Guardsmen had died, only to retract the statement hours later. FBI Director Kash Patel clarified that both heroes remain in critical condition, fighting for their lives as the nation prays for a Thanksgiving miracle.
