Afghan National Shot Guardsmen, Judge Denies Bond

A Washington D.C. judge has ordered Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national accused of killing one National Guard member and wounding another near the White House, to be held without bond. Lakanwal, who is twenty-nine, faces charges of first-degree murder and assault with intent to kill while armed. He allegedly opened fire on Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, who remain hospitalized. Lakanwal was detained after pursuing and shooting at another Guard member. The attack has intensified scrutiny over immigration policies, with President Trump blaming Biden-era policies and calling for a pause in migration from high-risk countries.
