Afghan Immigrant Shoots National Guard, Sparks Immigration Debate

Investigators are probing a shooting near the White House, where two National Guard soldiers were critically injured in an ambush by Afghan immigrant Rahmanullah Lakanwal. Lakanwal, who entered the U.S. through Operation Allies Welcome, was wounded and arrested. The incident has reignited debates on immigration policies and national security, with Trumps administration reviewing all Afghans who entered the U.S. during the previous administration. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency has halted immigration requests related to Afghan nationals indefinitely. The shooting occurred outside a subway station, leading to a security lockdown at the White House and an additional deployment of National Guard troops. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
