Democrat to suggest that the horrific attack against two National Guard troops the day before Thanksgiving is somehow President Donald Trump\u2019s fault.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>In an interview with left-wing MS NOW, formerly MSNBC, Jeffries told host Jen Psaki, who was former President Joe Biden\u2019s first press secretary, that Trump would need to \u201cjustify\u201d Guard deployments around the country, though the president has repeatedly stated they are assisting local and state officials with crime control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the Trump administration is going to have to justify to the American people why these actions are being taken as part of the broader effort to deploy National Guard troops all across the country,\u201d Jeffries said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<div id=\"e1c09a52-67a1-44a3-a58e-fc2bf67380c6\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThese are reasonable questions that the American people deserve answers to, not simply in the context of the actions that Donald Trump and the Secretary of Defense have taken today, but generally, in terms of understanding what their overall public safety strategy may be in a country where so many Americans understandably have concluded that things are moving in the wrong direction over the last year or so, and that we\u2019ve got to find a better path forward,\u201d he added, using an outdated term for the War Department.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block

members in Washington, D.C., last week became radicalized after he arrived in the United States, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Law enforcement has identified Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, as the individual responsible for the shooting that took place near the White House on Wednesday, resulting in the death of one National Guard member and the critical injury of another, Fox News reported.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-10\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<div id=\"as6078\" data-title=\"You Might Also Like\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe believe he was radicalized since he\u2019s been here in this country,\u201d Noem told NBC News. \u201cWe do believe it was through connections in his home community and state, and we\u2019re going to continue to talk to those who interacted with him, who were his family members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She noted further that U.S. authorities have received \u201csome participation\u201d from people who knew Lakanwal.<\/p>\n<p>Lakanwal entered the U.S. legally in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome, a program initiated by the Biden administration to evacuate and resettle Afghan refugees following the Taliban\u2019s takeover of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Noem stated that while asylum was officially granted to Lakanwal during the Trump administration in April, the vetting process occurred under the Biden administration. She criticized what she viewed as inadequate screening of Afghans and other foreign nationals during President Joe Biden\u2019s term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen this abandonment of Afghanistan happened, the Biden administration put people on airplanes [and] brought them to the United States without vetting them,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/afghan-suspect-national-guard-attack-radicalized-after-arriving-us-noem-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Noem said<\/a>. \u201cThey brought them into our country and then said they would vet them afterward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of that vetting information was collected by Joe Biden\u2019s administration,\u201d she added. \u201cJoe Biden completely did not vet any of these individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div data-delay=\"4000\" data-block=\"12\">\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to Noem, President Trump has implemented measures to enhance the vetting process for incoming immigrants. These measures include reviewing social media activity and checking the individuals with whom they interact.<\/p>\n<p>After the deadly attack on National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., on Thanksgiving Eve, Trump also announced that his administration would impose additional restrictions on migrants seeking to enter the United States. This includes a halt on all immigration from what he referred to as \u201cThird World Countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-13\">Advertisement<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe President is absolutely determined to stop all processes at this point in time from third-world countries until we can have a thorough opportunity to go through these individuals,\u201d Noem said.<\/p>\n<p>The attack left one Army National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, 20, dead and an Air National Guard member Andrew Wolfe, 24, fighting for his life. Both are members of the West Virginia National Guard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-9\">\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\" class=\"trc_related_container tbl-feed-container render-late-effect tbl-feed-frame-DIVIDER\" data-feed-container-num=\"1\" data-feed-main-container-id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails\" data-parent-placement-name=\"Below Article Thumbnails\" data-pub-lang=\"en\">\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails-sca1\" class=\"trc_related_container tbl-trecs-container trc_spotlight_widget trc_elastic trc_elastic_above-the-feed-premium-card-fp-delta pad-down above-the-feed-placement\" data-card-index=\"1\" data-placement-name=\"Below Article Thumbnails | Injected 1\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-below-article-thumbnails-pl1\" class=\"tbl-feed-card trc_related_container tbl-trecs-container trc_spotlight_widget trc_elastic trc_elastic_thumbs-feed-01-a-delta\" data-card-index=\"1\" data-placement-name=\"Below Article Thumbnails | Card 1\">\n<div class=\"trc_rbox_container\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"trc_wrapper_942073490\" class=\"trc_rbox thumbs-feed-01-a-delta trc-content-sponsored\">\n<div id=\"outer_942073490\" class=\"trc_rbox_outer\">\n<div id=\"rbox-t2v\" class=\"trc_rbox_div trc_rbox_border_elm\">\n<div id=\"internal_trc_942073490\">\n<div class=\"videoCube trc_spotlight_item origin-default textItem thumbnail_top videoCube_1_child syndicatedItem trc-first-recommendation trc-spotlight-first-recommendation trc_excludable\" data-item-id=\"~~V1~~-8369272145709734026~~nLhtcmAS13TpKCuqydc2_97_7aKpz1zo8VjMJgzYwvje83s9VLZeHZSw7u20SqiQAq1ExJ-Wi3ngF_vXhO40vwF11lWwdA2IS3NGoDJ5a5CPF8C2yPvlmbo_NIFLjI3J1cTA7c4YyVLp1OZJwq262m6MUXeEXMc8zqFpTxJUuhh8BNMVGPNcn9ZBvKI54gw4\" data-item-title=\"Edema Is Not From Salty Food.
