President Donald Trump has called on his administration to conduct a thorough review of all Afghan immigrants who entered the United States during former President Joe Biden’s tenure, following a shooting incident in Washington that left two National Guard members injured. Trump described the attack as an act of terrorism and linked it to ongoing concerns about vetting procedures for individuals evacuated from Afghanistan in 2021.
In pre-recorded Thanksgiving remarks delivered from Florida, Trump condemned the violent incident, emphasizing that the suspect involved had arrived in the U.S. during the large-scale Afghan resettlement effort that took place after the withdrawal of American forces. He asserted that the Biden administration failed to properly screen thousands of Afghans who were brought into the country, raising what he considers significant national security concerns.
Trump characterized the attack as “an act of evil, an act of hatred and an act of terror,” arguing that such incidents highlight what he believes are the dangers of inadequate immigration oversight. He insisted that every Afghan national admitted under Biden should undergo renewed scrutiny to ensure that they do not pose risks to American communities or military personnel.
The president’s comments come amid broader political debates over immigration, border security, and refugee vetting policies. While federal authorities continue investigating the motive and background of the shooting suspect, Trump is using the moment to reinforce his long-standing stance on strict immigration controls and stronger national security measures.
His renewed call for a comprehensive reassessment of Afghan entrants underscores the ongoing tensions surrounding the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the emergency evacuation efforts that followed. As the investigation unfolds, the incident is expected to intensify discussions about the balance between humanitarian obligations and security precautions in American immigration policy.
