Trump posted National guard member Sarah Beckstrom has died after shooting in Washington DC

Sad news on Turkey day but one of the National Guard members has passed away and reported it was "Sarah Beckstrom" while the other member of the guards, Andrew Wolfe, is still fighting for his life, according to president Donald Trump. Sarah Beckstrom, one of the national guard troops shot in Washington DC on Wednesday, has died, Donald Trump said on Thursday. “Sarah Beckstrom of West Virginia, one of the guardsmen that we’re talking about, highly respected, young, magnificent person … She’s just passed away. She’s no longer with us,” Trump said in his first live remarks since the shooting. 

Beckstrom, 20, was one of two members of the national guards shot near the White House in a targeted attack. The other member, Andrew Wolfe, 24, is still fighting for his life, according to the president. Beckstrom’s father had told the New York Times in a phone call earlier in the day that his daughter was unlikely to recover. “I’m holding her hand right now,” Gary Beckstrom said. “She has a mortal wound. It’s not going to be a recovery.”

Both Beckstrom and Wolfe belonged to the West Virginia National Guard, which deployed hundreds of troops to Washington as part of Trump’s crime-fighting mission in the capital. On Thursday, West Virginia’s governor, Patrick Morrisey, confirmed Beckstrom’s death in a social media post: “Sarah served with courage, extraordinary resolve, and an unwavering sense of duty to her state and to her nation. She answered the call to serve, stepped forward willingly, and carried out her mission with the strength and character that define the very best of the West Virginia National Guard.” Beckstrom, from Webster Springs, West Virginia, entered service in June 2023.

Authorities have identified the suspect in the attack as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29. Little is known yet about his life, but officials have confirmed that Lakanwal came to the US in September 2021 from his native Afghanistan under a program that gave some Afghans who had worked for the US government entry visas. He was granted asylum in April this year, under the Trump administration, Reuters reported. Lakanwal worked with CIA-backed military units during the US war in Afghanistan, the CIA has confirmed.

A resident of eastern Afghanistan who identified himself as Lakanwal’s cousin told the Associated Press that he was originally from the province of Khost. The cousin, who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, said Lakanwal had worked in a special Afghan Army unit. A former official from the unit, who also spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said Lakanwal was a team leader and his brother was a platoon leader. 

The cousin said Lakanwal started out working as a security guard for the unit in 2012, and was later promoted to become a team leader and a GPS specialist. Lakanwal’s former landlord, Kristina Widman, said Lakanwal had been living in Washington state with his wife and five children.

Jeanine Pirro, US attorney for Washington DC, said at a news conference Thursday that Lakanwal drove across the country to launch an “ambush-style” attack with a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver. The suspect shot one guard member twice before turning to fire at the second, Pirro said. Other national guard members at the scene had engaged and neutralized the suspect, she added. Pirro said the suspect would be charged with three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. However, if the national guard members did not survive, Pirro said, the charges could be increased to murder in the first degree.

The FBI director, Kash Patel, told the news conference the agency is investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism. Law enforcement agencies had executed search warrants at the suspect’s home in Washington and in San Diego, California. Investigators have no information yet on a motive, but believe Lakanwal acted alone. Lakenwal was one of roughly 76,000 Afghans brought to the US through the resettlement program, many of whom worked alongside US troops and diplomats as interpreters and translators. 

Supporters have said candidates were extensively vetted. But the initiative has drawn intense criticism from Trump and other Republicans over what they have argued are gaps in the vetting process and the speed of admissions.

Shortly after the shooting, Trump was quick to cast the blame on the Biden administration, accusing it of failing to properly vet migrants from Afghanistan. And he indicated he considered the attack justification for a broad review of asylum and green card applications. “We must now re-examine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden, and we must take all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from any country who does not belong here, or add benefit to our country,” Trump said on Wednesday. “If they can’t love our country, we don’t want them.” 

The leaders of several federal agencies have promised immigration reviews. US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said that it has stopped processing all immigration requests relating to Afghan nationals. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it was expanding that directive to include a review of all asylum cases approved under the Biden administration. DHS did not clarify whether it is reviewing all asylum cases from only Afghanistan or from other countries, as well.

The USCIS director, Joseph Edlow, later added he was also directing a “full-scale, rigorous re-examination of every green card for every alien from every country of concern” at Trump’s request. When asked what countries were considered “of concern,” USCIS pointed at Trump’s executive order restricted the entry to the US of nationals of 19 countries. Soon after the shooting, Trump said he would send 500 more National Guard troops to Washington DC. It’s not clear where the additional troops would come from. 

As of early November, the D.C. National Guard had the largest number on the ground, with 949 members. In addition to West Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama also had forces in the capital early this month. A federal judge last week ordered an end to the Guard deployment but also put her order on hold for 21 days to allow the Trump administration time to either remove the troops or appeal.

And look who appointed this one? That's right that ICE CREAM Eating Vacation having AutoPen White House sleepy, creepy Joe Biden himself. Or was it Obama? Kamala? Who the hell was even running the show? Who the hell knows.

Either way all signs points to this one being an inside JOB by the Biden team of criminals he let in during his 4 year reign of terror. 

The Judges that he, and Obama along with Clinton are the ones causing all this b/s with the lawless behavior they issue being soft of crime, and this happens cause these lunatics have made it so people don't care the crazy people who do this always think they gonna be ok. This Judge there needs to be removed imminently.

Judge James Boasberg released Nathalie Rose Jones woman who made death threats at Trump!

A woman arrested last month for allegedly making death threats against President Trump has been released by a federal judge who has clashed with the Trump administration several times this year. Wait so he's letting a person who said they wanted to kill the PRESIDENT out of prison? This a thing which would give someone automatic JAIL? Yeah this Judge needs to be disbarred and sent to prison he's corrupt and crooked as hell, and this isn't his first go at trying to destroy TRUMP... He's an OBAMA guy doing what his puppet masters want.

Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg released Natalie Rose Jones, an Indiana woman charged with making online threats against President Trump, on August 27, 2025. The decision to release her while she awaits trial under strict conditions has received significant public and media attention. 

Following her Arrest Jones who is 50 years old mind you this is no child. She should know better so no excuses on her idiotic online behavior. She was arrested on August 16, 2025, in Washington, D.C., and charged with threatening to kill, kidnap, or inflict bodily harm on the president after posting threatening messages on social media.

The Department of Justice's charging documents state that Jones made several threatening posts between August 2 and 9, 2025. One post allegedly stated, "I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea". Secret Service interviewed Jones twice in mid-August. During the first interview, she allegedly reiterated her intent to kill the president if given the opportunity. During the second interview, she denied any current desire to harm him.

This woman clearly has TDS and possible other Mental health issues which are aggravated by her TDS, and so all the liberal junk and lies the left keeps pushing about Trump she's fully believing, and in her deranged lunatic mind she might actually think he's the 2nd coming of Hitler! This is why words are weapons, and what the liberals have been doing a decade long now against TRUMP is horrific, and should be punished! 

He needs to start to make an example of these people so the Media can take note, and him suing them for their lies, and winning over, and over again like he has should wake people up. Sadly some people like this idiot Ms Jones might be to far gone in her mental illness. The public defender informed the court that she has a history of mental illness, including schizophrenia. The judge ordered her to undergo psychiatric care as a condition of her release.

Judge Boasberg's Rationale for Release claiming a Lack of probable cause: On September 2, a grand jury found "no probable cause" for the charges and refused to indict Jones. Her public defender argued that the government's evidence was weak, and that she had no intent to harm anyone. Even having claimed she wanted to do it more than once? Given her mental issue this is not "WEAK" normally crazy people just start this way and next thing you know she shows up at Mar-A-Lago hides in the bushes, and waits to take a shot like that last lunatic who tried that on President Trump.

Secret Service actions questioned During a hearing, Judge Boasberg questioned the seriousness of the threats, noting the Secret Service's delayed arrest of Jones. He highlighted that the Secret Service did not "dissuade her from coming" to Washington, D.C., suggesting they may not have initially taken the threats seriously. Or that maybe it took them a few days to get to her since they're busy with keeping the President safe and others also thinks also and things take time. 

So this Judge is wrong and is someone with his history of being Anti Trump he should not be involved in anymore cases against Trump cause now it's become clear he has himself TDS, and hates Donald Trump. The so called Judge also referenced recent instances where other defendants accused of threatening Trump were released, including Edward Dana and Peter Stinson. Also by Obama liberal Judges, and so this is a tactic of the left. U.S. Attorney for D.C., Jeanine Pirro, initially announced the charges with a strong statement, emphasizing that threats against the president are "one of the most serious crimes". 

The grand jury's decision against indictment was reported as a "major blow" to her office. She needs to continue to investigate these Judges. The decision has prompted varied reactions online and in the media. Some have criticized the ruling as too lenient, given the nature of the threats. Others have argued that Jones's history of mental health issues and the grand jury's findings influenced the outcome.

Even the leftist media outlets noted that Judge Boasberg, an Obama appointee, has previously clashed with the Trump administration. This has led to politically charged discussions surrounding the case, especially online. These judges are the same ones which had these fake ass trials before Trump got back into office. IF they ever have another Liberal President I hope the conservatives remember these actions against Trump and do it to them as when Biden/Obama were in office they did NOT have this happen to them on a daily basis with all these bought and paid for rogue judges. 

This sort of evil by the liberals either need to stop or this will end bad. This sort of evil by the liberals either need to stop or this will end bad. You cannot have a white house ran by an elected President who was put by the people and have him handcuffed by a now Former President like Obama who's a communist, and liberal bent on turning our country into a socialist utopia for his corrupted masters.

When will it all end? Who knows but this is an on going real life movie like DRAMA! No wonder nobody cares about going to watch movies in theaters anymore the best show is in our politics... Just stay home and watch these liberals keep self exposing how evil, and stupid they really are. This is without a doubt an interesting moment in time.

I'm sure more of this will be spoken about in the upcoming days so as more info drops we will keep you informed. Once again folks the rides not over it's only just started.

Sandwich-GATE HAHA! Oh man this ones RICH!

This one is probably the best ARREST in American history... We here just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice and is now in custody for guess what? The man is accused of assaulting a Border Patrol agent with a sandwich... Yes folks this SoyBoy is so mad that he couldn't take it anymore so this now previously employee of the DOJ, according to AG Pam Bondi threw his lunch a Sandwich at a Border Patrol AGENT! LMAO!!!!!!!

Now he has since been fired and charged with a felony.... I'd say throw the book at him but better yet I say throw the man in the frying pan? HAHAHA Oh the puns... This one arrest is for the ages. And if this doesn't get good enough for you yet! This moron had 20 officers came to arrest man charged with throwing sandwich at a police officer in DC, his lawyer says. The man, Sean Charles Dunn, appeared in court for an initial hearing Thursday after 20 officers were sent to arrest him, his defense attorney told a judge. After a brief foot chase Sunday night, Dunn was initially detained and then released the next day with no charges, his lawyer Sabrina Shroff said.

On Wednesday, Dunn learned there was a warrant out for his arrest and got in touch with Shroff who told the court, “I had no way to surrender him” after she attempted to call multiple government officials.

Before he turned himself in, 20 officers came to his door Wednesday to arrest him on the felony assault charge he now faces, Shroff said. To show that he could be released, Shroff noted that Dunn had served in the Air Force, to which prosecutors quickly responded.

“Somebody who served in the military should know not to assault an officer.”

Dunn was released on personal recognizance with the next hearing scheduled for early September. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on social media Thursday that the Dunn has been fired. He was an international affairs specialist in the Criminal Division of the Office of International Affairs, according to a source.

“If you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you,” Bondi wrote. “I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice — NO LONGER. Not only is he FIRED, he has been charged with a felony.” Great so how about them Epstein files PAM? Oh wait she had more to say about the SoyBoy who threw his lunch... “This is an example of the Deep State we have been up against for seven months as we work to refocus DOJ,” Bondi said of the sandwich incident. “You will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.”

According to police, Dunn confronted a group of US Customs and Border Protection officers on 14th Street in Northwest DC on Sunday night, calling them “fascists,” according to court documents. During the incident, Dunn allegedly approached a CBP officer and shouted expletives, adding, “Why are you here? I don’t want you in my city!” Dunn then crossed the street but returned and threw a “sub-style sandwich” at the officer’s chest, police said.

Dunn allegedly confessed while being processed, saying, “I did it. I threw a sandwich,” the court documents stated. US Attorney for DC Jeanine Pirro touted Dunn’s arrest on Wednesday, saying in a video shared on X, “We’re going to back the police to the hilt. So there, stick your Subway sandwich somewhere else.” In a statement to CNN, Pirro said, “The police are not out there to get pushed around or beat up. They have a job to do, and they shouldn’t be abused in the process. Count on me to back the blue.”

The White House said in a statement, “Assaulting a law enforcement officer is a crime.” And than laughed at the charges... But continued to say that “The Trump Administration will always stand up for law enforcement officers and hold those accountable who seek to do them harm,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said. Especially when they throw out good food without proper healthy options. Someone call RFK Jr in on this case also as I'm sure he has some very long and hard to listen to health concerns.... But the incident comes after Trump ordered additional federal law enforcement officers to the city late last week, arguing that crime in Washington, DC, is rampant.

Something everyone knows but with this level of crime these people need a maid and a spanking and if your gonna toss good food at people might as well put good condiments on them. JESUS!

Jeanine Pirro is doing the work needed in DC!

OK So now we're a week into her tiem as Washington, DC’s top federal prosecutor and Jeanine Pirro alreadt is facing an urgent test overseeing the investigation into the murders of two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the city’s Jewish museum. The response to the young couples’ murder was under the microscope, as it was her first opportunity to enter the public eye no longer as a Fox News host but as a high-ranking government official leading the charge to bring justice after a public assassination. And not to any shock here her quick command over the investigation garnered high marks from Justice Department officials. Prosecutors who work for her felt cautiously encouraged.

But she’s also getting the benefit for who she is not: Ed Martin, her norm-busting, social media free-wheeling predecessor who drew attention for his email screeds to employees and letters threatening to investigate Democratic members of Congress and liberal groups. Like Martin, Pirro enjoys a close relationship with President Donald Trump and is expected to deviate little from the top priorities Martin was pursuing like immigration enforcement and reducing crime in the nation’s capital. But top officials at the Justice Department found Martin’s antics problematic at times.

So so far the way she handles things has been a welcome to officials at DOJ headquarters and prosecutors who work for her, many of whom are still exhausted by Martin’s tumultuous tenure. “Whew, thank goodness,” one official remarked when asked about Pirro’s handling of the murder investigation. A longtime media personality, the interim US attorney had so far only spoken through social media posts and press releases. One of the posts a video on X criticizing the fact that her prosecutors had to join a paid “water club” to drink from a water cooler at the office was particularly popular, officials inside the office told CNN, and people working there appreciated the notion despite feeling slightly annoyed by her method of delivery.

Her appearance on Wednesday was far more traditional, as she and Attorney General Pam Bondi arrived at the Capital Jewish Museum soon after a man fired point blank at 26-year-old Sarah Milgrim and her boyfriend, 30-year-old Yaron Lischinsky, killing both. Pirro’s decision to go to the scene of the shooting Wednesday night with little publicity or fanfare earned her respect inside the US attorney’s office, one person told CNN. She stood silently behind the attorney general as she addressed reporters, trying to maintain her composure but visibly shaken by the grisly murder at the museum.

The Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has previously been criticized by Republicans for crime in the city, and her role in the cover up on J/6 where Nancy Pelosi and her denied help in the capitol riot. She's someone who needs to be investigated as far as many on the right think and she while that's her history she has been relieved by the how smoothly the shared investigation has been conducted, and that Pirro, Bondi and Bowser found a mutual respect for the work each was doing under the immense pressure they faced, sources with knowledge of their relationship told CNN reporters. “A young couple at the beginning of their life’s journey, about to be engaged in another country, had their bodies removed in the cold of the night in a foreign city in a body bag,” Pirro said Thursday from a lectern in her office. She continued; “And I am not unaware, based upon my own background, of the repercussions of this kind of case.

This is the kind of case that picks at old sores and old scars, because these kinds of cases remind us of what has happened in the past that we can never and must never forget.” A spokesperson from the DC US Attorney’s Office said, While Elias Rodriguez has not entered a formal plea in court “Judge Pirro has a history of fighting crime for over three decades and will continue to utilize her expertise in implementing the highest standards to assess and prosecute cases. She expects nothing less from her staff. Her job right now is to bring Law And Order to DC and make it safe for everyone.” “As for this case, it is of the greatest import that the evidence collected be assessed and analyzed in a sterile courtroom setting and not in a publicized political setting,” the spokesperson added.

The murder investigation is still in its initial phase, and department officials, including Pirro, have said they are looking to bring potential hate crime or terrorism charges against the suspect, Elias Rodriguez. But even if the case went to trial with the charges filed Thursday, Rodriguez could face the death penalty. If the Justice Department does choose to seek capital punishment, it will be a major legal and political test for Pirro and the US Attorney’s Office, putting the case on a long path to trial that would need to be carefully handled in a largely liberal-leaning city. 

The federal court in the District of Columbia hasn’t had a death penalty trial since 2003, when Rodney L. Moore was convicted of 10 murders and Kevin L. Gray was convicted of 19 murders. The jurors said they couldn’t agree unanimously on sentences of death for the two men rather than life imprisonment. People close to the office felt encouraged by the fact that an experienced national security prosecutor, Jeffrey Nestler, was assigned to handle the possible death penalty case and was at the scene of the crime by midnight Wednesday to oversee evidence collection. 

Several other top prosecutors within the office had either left the Justice Department since the Trump presidency began or had been fired or demoted during Martin’s tenure.
