He is likely to have been vetted multiple times during his journey to the United States, according to the group, which works with Afghans who helped the U.S.

Lakanwal was evacuated by the U.S. military in August 2021, following the fall of Kabul in the first year of the Biden administration.

He arrived in the U.S. under humanitarian parole, the temporary authority used to evacuate tens of thousands of Afghans on special immigrant visas and those Afghans who worked with the U.S. and were at risk from the Taliban. He applied for asylum in the Biden years and was granted asylum in April 2025, under the Trump administration.

During a press conference on Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel said Lakanwal's involvement with U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan would be a central focus of the investigation.

"This subject had a relationship in Afghanistan with partner forces," Patel said. "We are fully investigating that aspect of his background as well, to include any known associates that are either overseas or who are here in the United States of America."

Patel also said, without providing evidence, that Lakanwal was allowed into the U.S. by the Biden administration without proper vetting. Patel blamed "the failure to vet any way, in any way, shape or form, this individual and countless others."

Lakanwal had an active special immigrant visa (SIV) application underway, given to those who worked with the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan. Though he had received chief of mission approval, a mandatory step required for the SIV, he hadn't yet been granted lawful permanent residence — or a green card.

AfghanEvac noted that both the applications for chief of mission approval as well as asylum would have required review and vetting by the U.S. government, including the CIA.

In an interview with NPR, the founder of AfghanEvac, Navy veteran Shawn VanDiver, said it's premature to say whether Lakanwal warranted more scrutiny.

"We don't know yet. If there was a vetting failure, we've got to fix it, but we can't paint with a broad brush this entire community, right? The vast majority of Afghans who have come here and are just good upstanding citizens," VanDiver said.

Vetting for asylum includes identity and background checks, biometric vetting, in-person interviews, and an assessment of individualized risk and eligibility under U.S. law. Those granted asylum can apply for a green card after one year.

"This violent act does not reflect the Afghan community, which continues to contribute across the United States and undergoes some of the most extensive vetting of any immigrant population," AfghanEvac said in a statement.

One of the two National Guards is already dead. Sarah Beckstrom.

Reminder that this is unironically Trump's fault, the National Guard shouldn't be in fucking DC to begin with.

>>18048
Why though

>>18054
Putting aside the fact that it's probably actually illegal for him to be using the Guard like this, they're really not doing shit there beyond picking up litter. There really isn't any good reason to have them there, Trump is just stubbornly insisting on it.

Additionally, it's arguably Trump's fault that the shooter was here to begin with. Beyond the fact that he was granted asylum under Trump (he applied in 2021 under Biden, yes, but it was Trump's admin that accepted him), the whole Afghanistan pullout disaster was genuinely Trump's fault. Since he was too busy trying to get re-elected to actually organize the withdrawal from Afghanistan he negotiated in a way that made sense, when he lost in 2020, Biden was basically stuck cleaning up the utter clusterfuck that was left behind. Trust me, there's a lot of things I hate Biden for, but Afghanistan wasn't his fault. While it was far from ideal, what we managed to pull off in the little time we had was genuinely impressive.

Didn’t the National Guard stop all murders in DC for six months though? Until now I guess

>>18065
GEG, if you think crime in DC was bad before Trump sent the Guard in, you have no idea what it was like under Bush Sr. in the 90s. Back then DC actually WAS the murder capital of the country.

Anyway, the Guard literally cannot do anything in DC right now, the most they're doing is functioning as more eyes around as a deterrent, they haven't directly done shit. The military straight-up does not have the legal authority to arrest citizens, as much as Trump would like that. You want to know what they do if they want to stop a crime? Call the fucking cops like anyone else lmao

Trust the PlQn, PQtriQt

Yeah. Xhe was an afghan sandnigger trained by the US military for DEI purposes, and libtroon CIA brought him over and gave him a DEI job. Because xhe's brown. And the CIA is run by libtroon women who plan everything over zoom.

>Says lmao after sentences, belying massive insecurity and repressed rage

Martial law declared in the nation's capital and panicans are still scoffing and saying nothing ever happens. Some people just don't want to win

If anyone didn't think that signal was backdoored you need to immediately accept that you are a hopeless retard and a rube. Tor as well btw

So much of 2016-present is easily explained as the US governing class going a little nuts and deciding to try to do color revolutions/gladio on a domestic stage. They have lost their minds and hubris is going to end up destroying them (and probably a lot of us along with them)
