More shocking details have emerged about the Afghan national who ambushed and shot two U.S. National Guard soldiers just steps away from the White House on Wednesday, thanks to the catastrophic security failure and a possible terrorist attack enabled by the Biden regime’s reckless immigration policies.
Multiple federal law enforcement sources have confirmed to Fox News that the suspect, 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, entered the United States on September 8, 2021, under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome, following the disastrous and chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem released a statement slamming the Biden regime’s open border policies:
“The suspect who shot our brave National Guardsmen is an Afghan national who was one of the many unvetted, mass paroled into the United States under Operation Allies Welcome on September 8, 2021, under the Biden Administration.
I will not utter this depraved individual’s name. He should be starved of the glory he so desperately wants.
These men and women of the National Guard are mothers, fathers, sisters, daughters, children of God, carrying out the same basic public safety and immigration laws enshrined in law for decades.
Those politicians and media who continue to vilify our men and women in uniform need to take a long hard look in the mirror.
Bryon and I will be praying hard for these two National Guardsmen, their families, and every American who puts on uniform to defend our freedom.”
This is the exact scenario many warned about during the disastrous 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal: unchecked entry of potentially dangerous individuals under expedited clearance.
Rather than protecting U.S. troops and citizens, the Biden regime brought them here.
Lakanwal reportedly remained in the U.S. without legal status for nearly two months beyond his 2025 expiration.
Fox News Digital now reports that Lakanwal previously worked with multiple U.S. government entities, including the CIA, as part of a “partner force” in Kandahar, Afghanistan.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed the shocking revelation:
“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.
The individual—and so many others—should have never been allowed to come here.
Our citizens and service members deserve far better than to endure the ongoing fallout from the Biden administration’s catastrophic failures.
God bless our brave troops.”
