West Virginia National Guard member Andrew Wolfe is slowly recovering from a head wound sustained in a November 26th shooting in Washington D.C. The shooting resulted in the death of fellow guard member Sarah Beckstrom. Both soldiers were deployed to the city as part of a Trump administration initiative. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021 and previously worked with the CIA, has been charged with first-degree murder. Following the shooting, the Trump administration announced restrictive immigration policies, including a temporary halt to asylum decisions for Afghan nationals and a pause on immigration applications from 19 countries. Wolfe is expected to remain in acute care for several more weeks.
