A wave of concern has swept through the U.S. administration following the shooting near the White House. According to Latest News USA in Punjabi, the attacker, a 29-year-old Afghan citizen, prompted the U.S. to immediately suspend all visas and immigration processes for Afghan nationals indefinitely.
U.S. officials stated that the main reason for this decision is to conduct a thorough review of current security and screening systems. The suspension temporarily halts visa applications, asylum requests, and other immigration channels for Afghans.
This strict measure comes after two National Guard soldiers were critically injured in a shooting just two blocks away from the White House on Thursday. Authorities identified the attacker as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan citizen who entered the U.S. in 2021.
Former President Donald Trump linked the incident to broader national issues and demanded a review of the immigration system. He emphasized that all foreign nationals arriving from Afghanistan during the Biden administration should undergo re-screening. Trump also connected the attack to U.S. immigration policy, long-term involvement in Afghanistan, and domestic security concerns, including military deployments. According to Latest News USA in Punjabi, authorities continue monitoring the situation closely and providing updates to ensure public safety and transparency.
