'Heinous' is Ka$h Patel's favorite new word. He must have used it over a dozen times when describing the National Guard member shootings in DC. And someone please put a gag on Jeanine Pirro.

And the entire admin seems gleeful that the suspected shooter is an Afghan National, here only because of Biden, of course. And this will no doubt increase the ICE arrests and abductions. Happy Thanksgiving America!

The suspect in the shooting has been identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who officials say came to the US in 2021 under a program implemented by the Biden administration in the wake of the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan. The suspect was also wounded and taken to the hospital, authorities said.

Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser described the attack as a “targeted shooting.” Earlier, Vice President JD Vance said the motive behind the shooting was still unknown.

Trump called the shooting an “act of terror” in remarks from his club in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The president called for a reexamination of every person from Afghanistan who came to the US under President Joe Biden, and railed against what he claimed are millions of “unknown and unvetted foreigners” admitted to the country under his predecessor.

Here’s what we know about the shooting, the suspect and the response:

Lakanwal arrived in the US on September 8, 2021 as part of a program called Operation Allies Welcome, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Wednesday night.

Biden launched the program in August 2021 to protect vulnerable Afghans in the wake of the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan and as the Taliban regained control of the country.

Over 190,000 Afghans have resettled in the US under both Operation Allies Welcome and the program that replaced it, known as Enduring Welcome, according to the State Department.
