A day before an Afghan national allegedly opened fire on National Guard soldiers near the White House, killing one and injuring another, the Christian humanitarian group World Relief issued a statement condemning President Donald Trump’s directive for expanded vetting of Afghans admitted under the Biden administration. World Relief, which has worked in the Washington State community where the suspect lived and has been reported to have helped with his resettlement, described the additional screening as a betrayal of due process, even as government reports have flagged vetting gaps following the Afghanistan withdrawal.
More than 119000 educators in seven provinces have not been checked against the National Register for Sex Offenders three years after mandatory vetting began in 2023. Provincial departments cite delays from incomplete applications and slow processing by SAPS and the Department of Justice.
