WASHINGTON: The Trump administration announced Thursday that it would review the immigration status of every permanent resident or “Green Card” holder from Afghanistan and 18 other countries following the attack on National Guard troops in Washington.
US officials have identified the detained suspect in Wednesday’s shooting as an Afghan national who previously worked with American forces in Afghanistan.
The 29-year-old suspect was granted asylum – not permanent residency – in April this year, according to AfghanEvac, a group that helped resettle Afghans in the United States after the 2021 Taliban takeover.
