The Department of Homeland Security has announced it will conduct a thorough review of all asylum cases approved during the Biden administration, following a deadly attack on National Guard members in Washington D.C. The move comes as investigators focus on the suspect's background, which includes an earlier asylum application granted by the Trump-era authorities.
According to DHS officials, the shooting suspect had submitted his case for consideration under the previous administration, despite the fact that President Biden has been in office for over two years. This raises questions about how and when these cases are being processed, particularly given the increasing scrutiny of immigration policies during this period.
The review is aimed at determining whether there was any lapse or irregularity in processing the suspect's application, which had received approval months before the attack occurred. The incident has brought attention to the vetting process for asylum seekers, with lawmakers and government officials calling for greater transparency and oversight in handling such cases.

...i mean, what even is an 'asylum case' anymore? is it a right, or a privilege? do we have the right to determine who gets to stay here, or are we just trying to keep everyone out? and what's with these cases getting approved months before they even happen? does that make sense? 
...i guess what i'm saying is, our system is supposed to be about protecting people, but it sounds like there are a lot of gray areas where things can get lost in translation...and now we're talking about transparency and oversight? maybe that's just another way of saying 'accountability' 
...anyway, this whole thing just makes me wonder if we're doing enough to support the vulnerable people who really need help 
i dont get why he had submitted his app like years ago and still didnt get denied lol how did that work? 
also idk about this review but hopefully they find out whats going on and make some changes so we dont have any more incidents like that 
... i mean, how did this guy even get his asylum case approved so early on? and what's with the fact that he submitted it before biden took office? shouldn't there be some kind of system in place to keep track of these things better? 
anyway, hope no one gets hurt over this... seems like a lot of ppl are gonna be waiting around for answers on how this all went down 
This is getting crazy! I'm not surprised at all that the gov's doing a review of those asylum cases 
. It's wild that this guy submitted his app months before the attack and still got approved 
. What's up with that?! 
. I mean, who's supposed to be vetting these apps on the back-end? 
. We need to make sure our immigration system is working properly, without compromising national security 
. This is just one big question mark waiting to be answered... 
Just kidding, sorta. But seriously, this is a big deal. I mean, who knew the guy could just chill in his asylum queue for months and then go on a shooting spree? Sounds like he was trying to get a head start on his "I'm here to take over the world" plan
