The Trump administration is accused of spreading false information regarding Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the gunman who recently shot two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed Lakanwal had been “radicalized” after coming to the U.S., attributing the situation to Joe Biden’s immigration policies. Lakanwal, who worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, was vetted both when he fled to the U.S. under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome and when he sought asylum during the Trump administration. Despite this, Trump and his allies have been focusing on disinformation about Lakanwal’s background and linking the incident to immigration issues, attempting to shift blame to Biden while ignoring the circumstances under which Lakanwal was admitted.
