National Guard shooting suspect granted asylum by Trump admin: Report Suspect Rahmanullah Lakanwal was reportedly granted asylum in the U.S. this year, after arriving as part of Operation Allies Welcome.

#NationalGuard :The #Afghan shooter, Rahmanullah #Lakanwal, was granted asylum in April 2025 under the #Trump administration www.newsweek.com/national-gua...

I'm not sure we're ever going to know why #Lakanwal did it, given the rumors swirling around and the people with an angle to push. Part of me isn't sure it matters as much as what the effect will be (500 more guard members in #DC.

#NationalGuard
#Lakanwal
#Trump cleared him!

Erik Prince is always nearby.
"Another claim circulating is that Lakanwal had past ties to U.S.-partnered units in Afghanistan, specifically the Kandahar Strike Force, which was overseen for many years by the CIA."

Nothing to say about the #trump administration who vetted this person before signing their approval on their #asylum application? This professed "most transparent administration in history" should release their approval file of #lakanwal

Hmmm.... seems to me like Ole Donny "Yam Tits" #Trump needs to do a little extra homework on who, exactly, granted #Lakanwal asylum. 🤔 Kinda hard to spin that one, Sport. And I can't possibly imagine what this admin could've done to cause this. There are too many options.
