Good morning, I'm Marcus Ellerley, your artificial intelligence host, bringing you the White House Daily Briefing for Friday, November 28th, 2025.

We begin with a somber update on the National Guard shooting that occurred Wednesday near the White House. U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, age twenty, has passed away from injuries sustained in what federal authorities are investigating as a terrorist attack. The twenty-year-old from West Virginia National Guard was deployed to patrol Washington D.C. as part of the administration's federal takeover of the city and crime crackdown. The other wounded guard member, Andrew Wolfe, age twenty-four, remains in critical condition and is fighting for his life.

The suspect, identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a twenty-nine-year-old Afghan national, drove cross-country from Washington state and allegedly opened fire with a revolver near the Farragut West Metro station around two fifteen p.m. on Wednesday. Federal authorities reveal that Lakanwal previously worked with the CIA as a member of partner forces in Kandahar before the Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021. He entered the United States in 2021 under the Biden administration and was granted asylum status in April of this year. He is now facing multiple charges including assault with intent to harm and criminal possession of a weapon, with additional charges potentially pending depending on Specialist Beckstrom's death being classified as murder.

In response to the attack, President Trump made a Thanksgiving address to military service members where he expressed the nation's anguish over what he called a terrorist attack by a savage monster. He announced that an additional five hundred National Guard troops would be deployed to Washington D.C. The President also ordered a comprehensive reexamination of all Afghan immigrants admitted under the previous administration.

On social media, Trump vowed to permanently pause migration from poorer nations, calling it the only way to fully cure the situation. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director, Joseph Edlow, announced that the agency would implement additional screening steps for people from nineteen high-risk countries to the maximum degree possible.

The President is currently at Mar-a-Lago in Florida where he spent Thanksgiving with the First Lady. He participated in his traditional call to military service members Thursday evening, during which he also highlighted economic achievements, noting that the stock market has hit all-time highs forty-eight times during his nine months in office.
