During a heated House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Representative Bennie Thompsons description of a National Guardsmans death as an unfortunate situation sparked strong criticism. Secretary Kristi Noem immediately refuted this, labeling it a terrorist attack. The exchange escalated as Thompson was accused of disrespect and downplaying the severity of the incident. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan national, arrived in the U.S. through a resettlement program during the Biden administration, further fueling the debate.
