Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

The 29-year-old suspect entered the U.S. in 2021 through a program that resettled thousands of Afghans after the U.S. withdrew from the country. Before that, he worked with the CIA.
The guard members shot have been identified as Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24.

The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
