The shooter has been identified as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021 under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome. Law enforcement said he is believed to have acted alone. Witnesses say Lakanwal shouted, “Allahu Akbar” as he carried out his premeditated attack.
Fox’s Bill Melugin revealed that his permission the be in the US expired in September 2025, and he has been living in the United States illegally ever since. According to follow-up reports, an American couple named Stanley & Valerie Creighton took in Rahmanullah Lakanwal & his family. They all lived in their Bellingham Washington home.
Lakanwal ambushed two National Guard members outside a metro station in downtown Washington, D.C. He was shot by a third Guard member. The first victim — a female Guard member — was struck immediately and collapsed where she stood. Lakanwal then took her firearm and shot her in the head before continuing to fire. According to CBS, the suspect was wielding a handgun, had four rounds in his firearm initially. After he fired them at two national guards, he then took the fallen Guardswoman’s weapon and used it to continue shooting, striking the second Guard member.
President Trump announced a surge of another 500 National Guard troops into Washington DC, and said, “we must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden.” All Afghan immigration has been halted. All current Afghan immigrants are being investigated. WATCH:
.
VIA CBS – The Trump administration has paused the processing of all immigration applications for Afghan nationals following Wednesday’s shooting of two National Guard members, officials said, after the suspect detained in the shooting was identified as an Afghan national.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced Wednesday night that it’s enacting an indefinite pause on the processing of all immigration applications filed by Afghan nationals.
“Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols,” the USCIS statement obtained by CBS News reads. “The protections and safety of our homeland and of the American people remains our singular focus and mission.”
The Department of Homeland Security has identified the shooting suspect as Rahmanullah Lakamal, who DHS says was admitted to the United States in September 2021, a month after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
“We must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden,” President Trump said in an address Wednesday night. (source)

“The Afghan national accused of shooting two National Guard members blocks from the White House worked with various United States government entities, including the CIA, as a member of a partner force in Afghanistan, Fox News Digital has learned.”
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, entered the United States on the heels of the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 under the Biden administration. Lakanwal arrived in the U.S. a month later under “Operation Allies Welcome.”
Intelligence sources told Fox News Digital that Lakanwal had a prior relationship with various entities in the U.S. government, including the CIA, due to his work as a member of a partner force in Kandahar.
“In the wake of the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar, which ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation,” CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Fox News Digital.
“The individual—and so many others—should have never been allowed to come here,” Ratcliffe continued. “Our citizens and service members deserve far better than to endure the ongoing fallout from the Biden administration’s catastrophic failures.”
Ratcliffe added: “God bless our brave troops.”
“Invite them all here, so we don’t have to fight them over there.”
Love,
The Bush/Uniparty
Alleged National Guard shooter worked with US government entities in Afghanistan, including CIA: Ratcliffe
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/alleged-national-guard-shooter-worked-us-government-entities-afghanistan-including-cia-ratcliffe
The guy is a CIA asset. I think it is now obvious that the CIA is running a coup against the Trump presidency. Probably because Trump keeps trying to end the Ukraine which they view as their exclusive domain.
*the Ukraine war, which is the CIA’s war that they believe they have exclusive jurisdiction over. Having their own Afghan asset kill two guardsmen is a shot across the bow, a message to Trump to back off.
I don’t know. I doubt the CIA is winning friends or influencing people in this instance. This makes them look incompetent.
Anecdotal: I knew a Vietnam War vet (now deceased) who had a few dealings with Company men during his time in – country. He said, with a couple of exceptions, most operatives were full of themselves but quite stupid… in his opinion.
Graham Greene’s “The Quiet American” was written between 1952 and 1955 and foretold that story superbly. I highly recommend it. There is also a 2002 movie starring Michael Caine that was a worthy representation of the book.
They didn’t win friends with the J6 op either, except among the Left. Remember the CIA is not a domestic political institution. It is an autonomous, self-funding quasi-governmental force designed to destabilize and replace governments.
Its bag of tricks is currently being directed at the Trump Administration, because Trump continues to interfere with the CIA’s most important and ambitious goal to date, which is to overthrow the Putin government in Russia using the Ukraine war as the main lever to dislodge him. This main goal also conveniently furthers subsidiary goals of the agency, including killing large numbers of Christians and white males. These are just bonuses.
CIA is for foreigners, not domestic! That job falls to the FBI! These alphabet agencies needs cleaned out!
The corrections start at the top!
Double down!
Expand the scope of your view.
The longer-term pattern is managed decline of the US. The mass immigration adds to longer-term decline. The biden Afghanistan debacle added to the decline, both immediately and by adding thousands of unvetted Afghans such as this person to the US immigrant influx.
CIA can add impetus to the longer-term managed decline with “nudging” that does not directly involve “assets”.
When things like this shooting occur, government tends to use them to increase the surveillance and police state. That would go hand-in-hand with a longer-term managed decline program, because the goal seems to be an end state of a diminished authoritarian US under a multi-polar authoritarian global order headed by China.
All per plan?
I agree with all of that. The CIA is designed to destabilize and replace governments, and one very effective way to overthrow a government in the long term is to replace the population.
WTF are the CIA doing in D.C.?
Why does someone drive from Washington state who has five kids at home and kill people right near the WH?
What was his back-up plan? Or did the CIA offer him a back up plan for his wife and kids if he would just carry out this one task?
American citizens isn’t the problem!
Ukraine is a Money Laundering Operation –
The world’s top money laundry.
Always among the top five most corrupt countries in the world .Why on earth did we ever get involved.
Just because dome thing generation US policy makers Soviet Ukrainians who are still mad at Stalin?
And John Brennan still walks free.
Until there is accountability and justice brought hard, the IC coups, hoaxes and ops will continue.
Bondi and Patel. Two useless wheels.
They may be corrupt and useless but the real problem is the President not taking a far more stern position. NO MORE FOREIGNERS in our country (I don’t care where they come from). Death penalty (shoot to kill orders) against anyone attacking our military. No excuses. Enough is enough.
Brennan is getting worked into the system. He is not going anyway. Clapper may well have squealed to get a deal first.
The CIA is running a coup against US. And they have traitors in Congress helping them. And armed ground troops.
Injecting foreign flavor into our military is NOT working out!
I just love dot connectors! Now if only we could get them in our elected officials! Then the tickle down effect to appointed people! Ratcliffe is the start to be gleaned! Hold whoever was involved in the 2020 election fraud accountable! Traitors all!!!!
If the CIA is running a coup against President Trump, they certainly aren’t doing a very good job.
I believe that Venezuela is also a CIA front. The C1A, Cartels & Democrat Party: all one big corrupt, incestuous family.
JFK was trying to end the US engagement in the Vietnam War. And refused to use nuclear bombs against Castro’ Cuba.
CIA and the MIC had other plans for him to .
Why can’t we stop the CIA? We are being terrorized by the CIA and the FBI.
No need to threaten deportation. They get expedited citizenship, which is its own incentive.
Thank you Family Bush. For nothing.
The other dimension is open border, high birth rate illegals are cash cows for the teachers unions .Follow the real money – 13 year of free K-12 and they have 5–6 kids each. Do the math.
Teachers unions see nothing but perpetual teacher union dues and Democrat control.
Billboards Urging National Guardsmen to Refuse Orders from Trump Admin Sprout Up Around Country

Need any other confirmation we’re in the middle of an IC operation?
ae911truth.org
Psyop
Weren’t we supposed to get an FBI and Justice crackdown on these terror and insurrection supporting networks after the Kirk assassination?
That was three months ago.
Instead, we have Patel and Bondi still going after lone gunmen after the attacks. As the FBI runs the cover ups.
Maybe they’ll talk about it all some more on Fox News and War Room.
As the latest unchecked IC op keeps the Nation on edge.

“On our radar”
In this day and age just how is it that the radar the feral government uses now is less effective than the one during WW II??
“On our radar “ works perfectly well on Christians standing outside of an abortion clinic praying or parents speaking their opinion at a school board meeting against boys in girls locker rooms and restrooms.
I guess it’s just a matter of who is watching the radar.
How about stop giving away drivers licenses to illegals?
How about not allowing them in the country in the first place? Are we complete idiots? I am so mad about this I can’t see straight.
Biden allowed them to qualify for commercial drivers licenses. Often the only skill they can put on the table after they come here .
to many to individually focus on = on the radar
‘ “we must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden.” ‘
How about every single alien who has entered our country under biden?
How many flooded over the southern border illegally and are still here?
Uh-oh. Don’t look now. The economy might collapse if the near-slave labor was suddenly gone.
Never mind. It’s time to feast and start shopping for stuff we don’t need that is made in China, funded by the fiat debt propping everything up. Football games to complete the bread and circuses.
Whatever you do, pay no attention to the fact that the modRNA injections are still happening, and even worse genetic manipulation biowarfare democide is staging for deployment ON THE WEST ONLY.
https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/new-study-covid-19-replicon-samrna
I don’t need them to reexamine anybody. If you’re not a citizen of this country, you leave. Kick everyone out, then decide what small number from developed non terrorist non communist countries we let return.
Arrest and throw any judge who blocks you in prison and throw away the key.
There’s a major part of the problem, appointed judges over-ruling a POTUS decision! Our elected(?) Congress is another sore spot! When was the last time we had someone who was a great orator urging the correct decisions?
All due respect but we don’t need an orator. We need someone who recognizes the problem and is willing to do what is necessary to fix it.
YES! Only this position is acceptable. NO MORE FOREIGNERS OF ANY KIND IN OUR COUNTRY.
Those “hard working illegals’ did not work hard enough to become legal residents. They all go. No free loaders, no free passes .Gone, all of them.
Thank you, Sundance. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sundance, one of the rare few to see the forest for all those trees!
No more half measures. Start raiding work sites. No exemptions. Arrest CEOs if they object. Consider martial law. Believe it takes about 230 plus counties to qualify. We qualify. We know who the enemy is: democrats, muslims, and every illegal in this country.
Failure to do this means disaster for our future. We are dying by a thousand cuts now.
do you think thats possible to do and it will have minimal repercussions
The repercussions only flushes out those who need to get kicked out too. Their call, sooner or later they sea ll going. But if they want to rush to the front of the crowd, I see no problem with sending them back first .
Now you’re talking.
None of them “worked hard enough” to make their stay here legal.
So drop the myth about some of them being “hard working illegals”. They are lazy grifterss, all of them.
How about investigating all individuals with connections to the CIA?
Shut it down now!
Get them ALL OUT.
Only LEGAL immigrants who want to be American should be here.
And by the way, Islam is not culturally compatible with our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our way of life. Unless someone from an Islamic country disavows Islam and wants to be Christian, they should not be allowed here either.
Get THEM OUT.
You do realize that the potential defenders of islam will cite 1A as the primary reason for deep – sixing a ban on the faith.
Start from the top, Congress and all elected entities!
That is how the soft Jihad is being committed against us.
Exactly.
That is only for U.S. citizens. The Islamists will never become US citizens. Their allegiance is to ISLAM!
Amen and amen and do it right now – not tomorrow or next week but RIGHT HERE AND NOW.
It’s long overdue we take back this country. Tired of the congressional BS. Get rid of EVERY illegal alien and if any member of congress disagrees, they can be arrested too. Tired of them not upholding their oath of office and not representing America’s best interest. Bunch of idiots.
what if they outnumber the specific group you identify with.
We are representative government. There is no place for mob rule here. End of discussion. Sheer numbers never decide anything in this country, or else it is not a country .What will they have anyway, Somalia on the Pacific?
Exactly, even if we have to do it ourselves.
Ukraine is the CIA’s hole in the wall hide out.
Pam Bondi is not up to the Job,
Trump need find another AG,
You would have thought after Sessions and Barr he would have been more thoughtful.
But he inherited a country in near-collapse nine months ago. He pulled off a miracle saving the economy from tanking, and avoiding WWIII.
But he’s got to do something about Bondi and Patel. Soon.
The cancers there will only metastasize, and destroy everything, if he doesn’t. Right now, we’re only seeing the early symptoms of their incompetence.
Trump is an intelligent entity, Those two were demanded by McConnell as his choice would be shot down! Don’t lose sight that Obama got every one of his choices through the Congress vetting! Can we see the forest for all those trees? Start by eliminating all those mail in ballots and demand same day counting of ballots!
Exactly, the system needs changing, not lopping the heads off of any individuals. The system is still capable o bratty obstructionist lawfare.
Getting rid of a few top people changes nothing when the system can still dangle anyone like a cat toy. And who would have to waste half a year getting up to speed anyway.
Dumb campaign to knock off a few faces you don’t like.
Pam rhymes with SPAM! Coincidence or synchronicity?
I cringe every time she approaches a microphone…
Bot tag team here? Think so.
Hot blonds unglue you. Got it.
We will spend decades of time and vast fortunes of money trying to patch up the damages caused by America’s fool-hardy adventure in Obama Marxism and Biden Lunacy! Thank God we had the numbers to overcome the Gimme Party and elect POTUS Trump! However, we are NOT out of the woods, for even Republicans are being enticed to join in the beat-down of America! We must focus on election clean-up and the strength of MAGA a moving forward to reelection in 2028!
Judge Boasberg will rule Trump can’t do that
Where the Hell is the Supreme Court? Impeach that dipwad! He’s a yuge part of the problem, un-elected of course!
SCOTUS does need to weigh in on judicial ethics and scope of rulings. This should be well thought out. But the pattern of abuses is emerging. I suspect they will but not in the first years. Wait for self-correction first and then lower the hammer when the pattern cannot be refuted.

Islam is NOT a religion! It’s a CULT! Religions don’t tell the followers to kill the infidel or it’s OK to be a liar!
Hes smacking Trump saying see we have Hamas you the Muslim Brotherhood they are both from the Arab nation until Britain started screwing around changing names. We had our people killed while having a get together they do it to you on a much smaller scale. WAKEY WAKEY time to realize these want you all dead. “He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers.” (Genesis 16:12, NASB)
And why does Netanyahu think he gets a say in who comes into our country? Disgusting.
He has been catered to by people like Lindsy Graham and Mark Levin, that’s why. Trump had better wake up and realize what’s at stake here.
Are you kidding me? Who gives a flip what Nentenyahu thinks about anything? Since when does he rule America? How can he “reject” our president’s proposal? Why is President Trump putting up with this?
I have been so disgusted with what has been done to our Country that I cannot even comment much anymore. President Trump is trying his best. I have not read all the comments here this morning, but just to add, the New York Times reported that the shooter has a wife and five kids. OK, going back to my shell now to stop the feeling of disgust.
The wife doesn’t appear to be too healthy mentally in this!
Trump should throw the entire family out of our country for a start. If no penalty is paid, they will keep doing this and worse. Surely, Trump knows this.
When does Biden get held accountable for his actions? As brain damaged, it is not an excuse! Actions has responsibilities! After him, go for the side kicks and destroy them! Jill has to be accountable too!
He is being held accountable for his 2023 amnesty grants and the execution of those grants. He is not getting way from this one.
“Terrorist Who Shot Two National Guard Members in D.C. Was Let into the Country by the Biden Administration’s Operation Allies Welcome Program.
The Biden Administration let this terrorist into the country as part of their Operation Allies Welcome program on September 8, 2021. This program let in thousands of unvetted Afghan nationals including terrorists into our country.
We will keep the public apprised as more information becomes available” -U.S. Department of Homeland Security, 11/26/2025.

This guy was ordered to attack and did so willfully or after being given an offer he could not refuse by the CIA … he was (more likely still IS) a CIA employee.
It is worse than being just let in “unvetted”. The CIA vouched for this guy (the reason he was unvetted) and knew exactly where he was located since being allowed to enter the US.
Did the CIA promise to take care of this wife and children? That is typically how they operate when they want something.
End all muslim immigration. They are at war with western culture.
“All Afghan immigration has been halted.”
Great. But why was there any Afghan immigration still going on? At the very least, you cannot vet a single one of them through any Afghan source, since with the Taliban in control none of those sources can be trusted even a tiny bit. Even back when the U.S. was still in Afghanistan, how could you properly vet any of them? Sure, some of them worked with the U.S. back then and appeared to be good people. But how could you really know? There were too many incidents of “vetted” Afghans turning on the Americans they were working with and trying to shot or blow them up.
What if the gunman had been from Qatar, would all immigration from Qatar have been halted ?
What about from Saudi Arabia where the 9/11 hijackers were from?
Why is any immigration going on?
Exactly – how dumb is our country? Sorry everyone but I am mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore. (line from movie “Network.”) I will go back to my bunker now.
“Witnesses say Lakanwal shouted, “Allahu Akbar” as he carried out his premeditated attack.”
Maybe he thought the National Guardsmen (women) were Jewish.
We must now go after every single person n this country illegally and kick them the hell out! I’ll help.
Only 18 million more to go. A few more million a year and it adds up. It will eventually be seen there is other option. Self-deporations will take care of the rest .
My Dear Lord, I’m so sick of hearing these stories!
What the heck is 500 more troops going to do about a lone shooter? Get these Islamic pigs out of here, their all mentally ill. They enslave their women and teach their kids to be as mentally ill as they are, sick violent animals. Please, do not leave this up to the American citizen to take care of, it will be brutal. (Get rid of the CIA.) What is it they do exactly for this country?
That young women’s father has said, she is mortally wounded.
The Presidents sadness, frustration and anger were palpable. The 20 year old woman died. Such an immense tragedy. The ugliness, the evil of these people and of those allowed and encouraged them to come cannot be overstated.
Targeting two brand new recruits was not accidental.
It was intended to destroy new ICE recruitments.
This was not a lone gunman. He was as much of an insider as Jack Ruby.
