The Trump administration has stopped all asylum decisions and paused the handling of visas for anyone travelling of an Afghan passport following the shooting of two national Guard members which left one dead, near the White House.
Investigators are still trying to determine a motive. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal a 29-year-old Afghan who worked with the CIA during the Afghanistan War, now faces charges including first-degree murder. He applied for asylum under the Biden administration and was granted it this year, according to a group helping Afghans who assisted US forces.
