According to the White House spokesperson, all immigrants coming to the US from Afghanistan are being carefully re-evaluated, and anyone who poses a threat to national security will be deported. Spokesperson Caroline Lute said that all refugee decisions and special immigrant visas have been suspended.
After the shooting of an Afghan citizen in recent days, the US President’s mass deportation plan has become more important than ever. On the other hand, White House spokeswoman Caroline Levitt said that Washington, Russia are optimistic about the Ukrainian ceasefire. US President Donald Trump will host the leaders of Rwanda and Congo at the White House on Thursday to sign a peace agreement. It is expected that the US-brokered peace agreement reached in June will be fully implemented.
It is to mentioning here that a decision has been taken after the Afghan shooter opened fire on US service men, killing a woman and injuring another soldier. The Afghan national visited the US in 2021 after the Taliban took over. Rahmanullah Lakanwal is accused of carrying out an “ambush” that killed Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and seriously injured Andrew Wolfe, 24.
Officials said the 29-year-old entered the US in 2021 as part of a programme for Afghans who had worked with American troops in Afghanistan. According to the emails from last year that were obtained by BBC’s US partner, CBS News, Mr Lakanwal struggled with his mental health.
