Entered with the friends and Taliban family programs Biden started after his disaster at Kabul, and then overstayed his visa.
The gunman accused of shooting two National Guard members blocks from the White House the day before Thanksgiving is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, three law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Lakanwal, an illegal migrant who entered the U.S. after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, overstayed his visa granted under Operation Allies Welcome, sources said.
Authorities are investigating the shooting as a possible act of international terrorism.

Multiple law enforcement officials tell CBS News the suspect in the shooting of the two National Guard members is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the U.S. in 2021.
The suspect used a handgun to carry out the attack, two law enforcement sources told CBS News.
He reportedly waited around the corner for the Guardsmen to come around and shot a female Guard in the chest first, and then shot her in the head with her own weapon.
The Fox News reporter just told Jason Chaffetz they were also stabbed in their heads, both of them.
