April 23 in Fairfax, VA: (Actions at the end)

April 23 in Fairfax, VA: A routine traffic stop escalated when Jamal Wali, 36, another Afghan national, expressed frustration and mentioned the Taliban before firing at officers. One bullet injured two officers in their arms, but they were treated and released. Wali was fatally shot in the exchange. Body camera footage captured the event, showing his anger toward the U.S.

These incidents raise questions about vetting processes. Both individuals entered the U.S. under programs from the Obama and Biden administrations—Wali in 2014 as a translator, and Lakanwal through asylum pathways amid the Afghanistan withdrawal. Concerns have been voiced about border security and immigration policies that may have allowed unvetted entries.
