The geolocation feature on X has really been an eye opener.

If you look at the afghan accounts on there who are calling for terrorist attacks in Pakistan, majority of them are based in the west and are pro Taliban extremists.
 
These Afghan's who got Pakistani passports and move to West, harami's get involved in Terrorists activities and then other well established Pakistani's have to suffer because of them, I hope Trump send the Afghans back because I saw a news few days ago that Afghan taliban ask Afghan Sikhs and Hindu's to return, so maybe Afghan taliban will forgive those Afghans living in USA as well, after all Afghanistan is now America of S.East Asia according to them.

I wonder whether ex-ARVN went rogue like this after coming to states. Never heard of a story of it, but it seems we are seeing a growing number of ex-ANA have had deadly run ins with LEOs.

Yes, a small number of former Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) soldiers did form organized crime groups in the United States after immigrating. These syndicates were known for fiercely anti-communist activities, extortion, illegal gambling, and drug trafficking within the Vietnamese refugee communities.

Overview of ARVN Veteran Involvement in Crime
  • Formation of Gangs: Some of the first Vietnamese organized crime groups in the U.S., founded in the 1970s, were established by ex-ARVN personnel. Specific groups were known as the "Frogmen" and "Paratroopers," comprising former ARVN soldiers.
  • Motivations and Activities: These groups were strongly anti-communist and engaged in domestic acts of terrorism, such as bombing or torching establishments of individuals in the community perceived to be communist sympathizers. Other criminal enterprises included running protection rackets, illegal gambling clubs, prostitution rings, and later, organized car theft and heroin trafficking.
  • Scope: The criminal activity was primarily concentrated in areas with large Vietnamese refugee populations, often referred to as "Little Saigon" communities across the U.S..
  • Debate over Organization: In the mid-1980s, witnesses alleged a national network of these crime groups called "The Dark Side," supposedly run by former South Vietnamese leaders, but a formal, nationwide syndicate was never definitively proven by U.S. law enforcement. Experts at the time were divided on whether the crimes were nationally organized or simply local youth gangs, with some specialists suggesting that, overall, Vietnamese immigrants committed less crime than other ethnic groups.

From the BBC

The Department of Homeland Security named the suspect in a press release as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, "a criminal alien from Afghanistan". An official has told the BBC's US news partner CBS that he applied for asylum in 2024, and his application was granted earlier this year.
The 29-year-old is understood to have entered the country under the programme called Operation Allies Welcome.
Trump said following the shooting that the US "must now re-examine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden".

"Must now"? The Trump administration wasn't doing it before?

Probably not given the suspect has a DoD record. Would have been vetted in country when he was recruited by the CIA.
 
During the Biden-Harris regime years, among the tens of millions of migrants who flooded into the country, roughly 90,000 Afghans were admitted through the administration's Operation Allies Refuge (OAR) and Operation Allies Welcome (OAW) programs.

Intelligence sources revealed to Fox News that Lakanwal worked with U.S. government entities in Afghanistan, including the CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar.
