In the wake of a deadly shooting in Washington DC, Afghans residing in the US have voiced their condemnation of the act, asserting that the alleged shooter does not represent their community. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, entered the US under a special immigration program after working with US forces in Afghanistan. The Afghan Community Coalition expressed sympathy for the victims' families and called for a comprehensive investigation. They urged the government to avoid halting Afghan immigration claims, emphasizing the long-standing partnership between the US and Afghanistan. Many Afghans in the US feel a sense of fear and uncertainty regarding their status, especially in light of recent political reactions to the shooting.
