Trump says lax migration policies are top national security threat after National Guard members shot
November 26, 2025
President Donald Trump says Wednesday’s attack on two National Guard members near the White House highlights the dangers of lax migration policies. He calls it the greatest national security threat. Trump says the suspect is an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021 after Kabul’s collapse. He criticizes former President Joe Biden’s handling of Afghan evacuees and plans to review those who entered under Biden’s administration. Trump also targets Minnesota’s Somali community, calling for the removal of those who don’t benefit the country. Supporters of Afghan evacuees fear increased scrutiny and political exploitation of the incident.
