So pretty rigorous.

Pretty rigorous, but at the same time, I think it's important to note that the agency's inspector general found that the Biden administration had allowed two people who were potential national security threats to enter the country despite that vetting.

This was a really hurried process.

This wasn't something that was planned years in the making, months in the making yet.

so there were clear issues with this program i mean mr lock and wall comes really quickly as one of the first groups of people to arrive in the united states as part of this program in september 2021

He settles down in Bellingham, Washington, a town that's near the Canadian border, and he's trying to find jobs there.

He's a delivery driver.

He's staying with his wife and five children in an apartment complex that is a place where people who are down on their luck are trying to rebuild their lives.

But despite this kind of challenging circumstances for him, in April, during the Trump administration, he gains asylum.

Yeah, you know, the Biden administration brought these people over from Afghanistan under a power known as parole.

This is a temporary status that only lasts a few years.

It did not provide these Afghans with a chance to stay in the country permanently.

That was on Afghans individually in the country to figure out a way to stay here.

Yeah, this was clearly good news for him to get asylum, to have a chance to remain in the United States, to gain a green card, to gain U.S.

citizenship.

He was on that pathway.

But the next thing we know is that he decides to drive from Bellingham, Washington, all across the country to Washington, D.C., where he finds himself in the downtown of the city about a block or two from the White House building.

This is an area that has a lot of people going through it, and there are restaurants and coffee shops.

And he is walking on the sidewalk near a bus stop where he comes across two National Guard members from West Virginia, Sarah Beckstrom, a 20-year-old, and Andrew Wolfe, a 24-year-old.

And Mr. Lockenwald decides to pull out his gun and shoot both of them multiple times.
