President Donald Trump unleashed a blistering attack on Joe Biden and his top officials on Sunday, using a Truth Social post to charge that the administration’s approach to immigration and asylum has placed Americans in danger.
His comments came in the aftermath of a deadly incident involving two National Guard members—one killed and one critically wounded—in an attack authorities say was carried out by an Afghan national who entered the United States under Biden-era policies. Trump directly tied the tragedy to what he called reckless border management. “Crooked Joe Biden, [Alejandro] Mayorkas, and so-called ‘Border Czar’ Kamala Harris really screwed our Country by letting anyone and everyone come in totally unchecked and unvetted!” Trump posted.
The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, now faces charges for the killing of 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom. Officials report that Lakanwal arrived in America as part of Operation Allies Welcome, the massive relocation effort created after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.
On Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the program rushed tens of thousands of Afghans into the country before thorough screening could be completed, a problem she attributed to the rapid collapse of the Afghan government. According to Noem, Lakanwal’s case highlights the dangers created by those gaps, insisting he was allowed into the United States with insufficient vetting.
Mayorkas, whom Trump singled out in his post, served as Biden’s Homeland Security secretary throughout all four years of Biden’s term.
