LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Wednesday’s “heinous assault” on two National Guard members near the White House proves that lax migration policies are “the single greatest national security threat facing our nation.”“No country can tolerate such a risk to our very survival,” he said. With aggressive deportation efforts already underway, his response to the shooting showed that his focus will not waver. AdvertisementThe suspect in the shooting is believed to be an Afghan national, according to Trump and two law enforcement officials. The focus has involved the realignment of resources at federal agencies, stirring concern about potentially undermining other law enforcement priorities. Effective immediately, processing of all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals is stopped indefinitely pending further review of security and vetting protocols.
