Reported by AI Image generated by AI Fact checked
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.
