On Thursday, Just the News reported that President Trump announced that Sarah Beckstrom, 20, of West Virginia, a National Guardsman who was shot Wednesday in Washington, D.C., has died. She and Guardsman Andrew Wolfe were ambushed by an Afghani national.
The article reports:
The suspected shooter has been identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national.
On Wednesday, Breitbart reported:
In November 2021, just as former President Joe Biden’s administration was importing thousands of Afghan nationals to the United States every week, then-Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted that “not all” Afghans were being vetted with “in-person, refugee interviews,” an admission that shocked members of Congress.
On Wednesday, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal of Afghanistan left two National Guardsmen in critical condition after he allegedly opened fire on them while shouting “Allahu Akbar,” law enforcement officials say.
Lakanwal arrived in the U.S. in 2021 as part of Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome, carried out by Mayorkas at the time, which ultimately resettled tens of thousands of Afghans in American communities.
In November 2021, during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Mayorkas admitted to members of Congress that not every Afghan national brought to the U.S. following the withdrawal of American troops in Afghanistan had been vetted in-person.
“We are not conducting in-person, refugee interviews of 100 percent individuals,” Mayorkas said.
The article at Breitbart concludes:
In September 2021, before a Senate hearing, then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken also admitted that vetting was unlikely to have occurred for thousands of Afghan nationals before they boarded planes to the U.S.
“What percentage of [Afghans] were vetted before they actually got on those planes?” Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) asked Blinken.
“Before they got on their airplanes to leave Kabul? Certainly not, most of them were not,” Blinken admitted.
We need to examine very carefully the people from Muslim countries that are coming into America. I am sure many of them are peaceful people only looking for a quiet place to raise their families, but we need to find a way to sort the peaceful people who want to assimilate into America from the Islamists. The fact that the murderer yelled, “Allahu Akbar” while firing on his victims might be a clue that he has not assimilated.
