President Trump gave a speech about the terror attack, where he spoke of lifting up our prayers to those shot and their families. He spoke of the "20 million unknown and un-vetted foreigners" let in by the Biden administration, and renewed efforts to stop such actions of terror by stepping up the investigation of these people.

If CNN's reporting is correct, he was vetted and granted asylum during the Trump administration.

Could be. I believe Trump mentioned the legislation was passed during the Biden administration.

Yes, he entered the US under the Biden administration's Allies Welcome Program in 2021, but he didn't apply for asylum, which is a totally separate and unrelated process, until 2024. His vetting and asylum approval in April of this year occurred during the Trump administration.

Yes. And apparently his legal status to stay expired in September of this year, so he was here illegally.

Not if he was granted asylum in April.

What are liberals supposed to do now?

What are liberals supposed to do now?

Go about our lives like we have been after every other shooting in this country?

Only thing that makes this one special is the soldiers targeted who were needlessly put there by the current administration.

The Trump administration is trying to save as many victims as possible by arresting criminals. There is a great need for that.

Which is not the role of the National Guard.

Blame Trump, of course.

How can his legal status expire in September 2025, when it was ensured in April 2025?

He should be getting rid of the dangerous immigrants but many of those arrested are here legally.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

Blame Trump, of course.

Who ordered this deployment? Who is the Commander in Chief of our armed forces? We have to ask if this deployment is worth the risk to our troops. Risking confrontation like this just to have the guard posted next to national monuments and picking up trash around the city seems unwise.

You keep saying it was needless as if you care nothing about all the black kids who were being murdered in streets of DC.

 

[durangodawood]

In a lot of ways this is just another day in America. 2 people shot and badly wounded. Normally no one would raise an eyebrow. But theres political hay to be made, so peoples antennas are up.

Antennae. Whatever.

Clearly all these months of military presence haven’t made the streets of DC any safer. Are they fighting crime in between their shifts of picking up litter and posing for selfies with tourists?

Clearly you are wrong.

What are you trying to prove with this? That crime was already down before Trump took office? Before deployment of NG in DC?

Sounds like the NG deployment was unnecessary after all.
