DC National Guard Shooting Leaves Immigration Hanging In Balance
President Donald Trump is escalating his immigration agenda after a tragic shooting near the White House left one National Guard member dead and another critically injured. He called for a “permanent pause” on migration from poorer nations and vowed to revoke legal status for millions of immigrants, blaming them for crime, housing shortages, and what he called “social dysfunction” in America. Witness photos capture the attack.
The suspect in the attack, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is a 29-year-old Afghan national who worked alongside US forces during the Afghanistan War and later entered the country legally through a resettlement program. How is he being charged? His case has intensified political debate, even as studies show immigrants commit crimes at lower rates than US-born citizens. What we know so far.
Trump is now pushing for expanded screenings, denaturalization efforts, and mass deportations. Critics warn such moves would undermine the country’s long-standing identity as a nation of immigrants.

♈ Aries (March 20 – April 18) When you pause your usual rush and allow yourself a calmer rhythm, clarity returns. Step back, breathe deeply, and you’ll notice life aligning in ways that feel natural and restoring. | ♉ Taurus (April 19 – May 19) Shared moments can spark remarkable inspiration. Dare to wander beyond your familiar circles—new places and unexpected connections may bring the kind of insight and energy that enrich your journey. | ♊ Gemini (May 20 – June 19) Your life’s direction isn’t defined solely by achievement or income. Reflect on how your daily work can nourish your inner purpose and reveal a deeper sense of meaning in what you do. |
♋ Cancer (June 20 – July 21) You’re emerging from your usual shell and discovering possibilities you hadn’t noticed before. Embrace this openness, follow your curiosity, and make the most of every new chance that comes your way. | ♌ Leo (July 22 – Aug. 21) Deep connection begins by turning inward. Acknowledge your fears, emotions, desires, and hidden truths with compassion, not criticism. Self-acceptance opens the door to a more meaningful relationship with the world beyond you. | ♍ Virgo (Aug. 22 – Sept. 21) Strong relationships grow through honest dialogue. Instead of holding everything in, express your thoughts gently. Offering your voice as freely as your attention builds trust and keeps connections balanced. |
♎ Libra (Sept. 22 – Oct. 21) When your well-being isn’t cared for, everything else suffers. Begin today by choosing one small act that strengthens your mind, body, heart, and spirit—nourishment that supports everything you hope to give. | ♏ Scorpio (Oct. 22 – Nov. 20) When inspiration returns, it can rush in all at once, almost overwhelming. Trust yourself—you’re equipped to handle the surge. Let the flow guide you rather than sweep you away. | ♐ Sagittarius (Nov. 21 – Dec. 20) Your inner world is rich with moments that still matter. Revisiting them gently can help you understand your present experiences and deepen your connection to yourself. |
♑ Capricorn (Dec. 21 – Jan. 18) Simply watching how others move through the world can reveal lessons as useful as any heartfelt advice. Quiet, unbiased observation often teaches what conversation alone cannot. | ♒ Aquarius (Jan. 19 – Feb. 17) Let your principles shape both your routine and your future direction. Reflect on what genuinely matters to you, and consider small adjustments that bring your life closer to those priorities. | ♓ Pisces (Feb. 18 – March 19) You’re overflowing with potential and fresh ideas. The world is opening in inviting ways, urging you to move forward. Believe in the moment and let courage guide your next move. |
