A guard member died after an ambush near the White House; the suspect was an Afghan national — triggering a full U.S. asylum review.
Brief: On 27 November 2025, Washington, D.C. was rocked by a targeted shooting when a suspected Afghan national opened fire on National Guard troops patrolling near the White House. The attack killed 20-year-old Guard member Sarah Beckstrom; another guard remains critically injured. The assailant — identified as 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal — was wounded and taken into custody as the FBI initiated a terrorism investigation. 1 In response, the administration has suspended asylum processing for Afghan nationals and ordered a sweeping review of asylum approvals since 2021. The incident has refocused debates around immigration vetting and national security ahead of a fraught political climate in the U.S.
