Response to national guard shooting has \u2018no time limit\u2019; gutting of DHS watchdog could pave way for abuse \u2013 key US politics stories from 30 November at a glance
US President Donald Trump has said his administration intends to maintain a pause on asylum decisions<\/a> for \u201ca long time\u201d, after an Afghan national allegedly shot two National Guard members<\/a> near the White House, killing one of them.
When asked to specify how long it would last, Trump said he had \u201cno time limit\u201d in mind for the measure, which the Department of Homeland Security says is linked to a list of 19 countries already facing US travel restrictions.
\u201cWe don\u2019t want those people,\u201d Trump continued. \u201cYou know why we don\u2019t want them? Because many have been no good, and they shouldn\u2019t be in our country.\u201d
Here are the key stories:
Donald Trump<\/a> said on Sunday that he invited the family of a national guard member fatally shot last week to the White House, adding that he spoke to her parents and they were \u201cdevastated\u201d.
US army specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20, was killed in a shooting<\/a> on Wednesday in Washington DC. Her fellow service member, US air force staff Sgt Andrew Wolfe, 24, remains hospitalized in a critical condition. Vigils across West Virginia have taken place in their memory.
\u201cI said: \u2018When you\u2019re ready, because that\u2019s a tough thing, come to the White House. We\u2019re going to honor Sarah,\u201d Trump told reporters. \u201cAnd likewise with Andrew, recover or not.\u201d

The shooting suspect, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was granted<\/a> asylum under the Trump administration in April 2025. He worked with CIA backed units in Afghanistan, coming to the US in September 2021 under an Operation Allies Welcome program.

The federal watchdog system at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that oversees complaints about civil rights violations, including in immigration detention, has been gutted so thoroughly that it could be laying the groundwork for the Trump administration<\/a> to \u201cabuse people with impunity\u201d, experts warn.

Hondurans have begun voting in an election held amid threats by Donald Trump<\/a> to cut aid to the country if his preferred candidate loses.
Honduras could be the next country in Latin America, after Argentina and Bolivia, to swing right after years of leftwing rule. Polls show three candidates neck-and-neck in the race to succeed President Xiomara Castro, whose husband, Manuel Zelaya, also led the country before being toppled in a 2009 coup.
Trump\u2019s favourite is 67-year-old Nasry \u201cTito\u201d Asfura of the rightwing National party. His main challengers are 60-year-old lawyer Rixi Moncada from the ruling Libre party and 72-year-old TV host Salvador Nasralla of the Liberal party.
