When America’s defenders are gunned down on our streets, the attorney general’s first job is simple: protect the people and punish the guilty. That was U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s message on Hannity this week as she vowed to hold the suspect in the Farragut Square ambush accountable and to restore security after what she rightly called the failures of the last four years. Hardworking Americans want action, not excuses, and Bondi says the Department of Justice will deliver exactly that.
On Nov. 26 two West Virginia National Guard soldiers on high-visibility patrol near the White House were ambushed in broad daylight, an attack that shocked every patriotic American. Twenty-year-old Sarah Beckstrom later succumbed to her wounds, while Specialist Andrew Wolfe fights to recover from serious injuries. These were young people who volunteered to serve their country and protect their fellow citizens, and their families deserve justice and answers.
The suspect, identified as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is an Afghan national who came to the United States under Operation Allies Welcome in 2021 and allegedly carried out a calculated attack just blocks from the White House. Law enforcement found links to his past service alongside U.S.-backed forces in Afghanistan, and investigators seized electronic devices as they pieced together motive and travel. This is precisely why sober, rigorous vetting and commonsense immigration controls matter to national security.
Bondi made it clear she will use every lawful tool at the DOJ to seek the maximum penalties and to tighten the gaps that allowed dangerous people to slip through. That resolve is exactly what America needed after years of weak leadership that put ideology ahead of safety. If our government cannot keep dangerous people out and hold attackers accountable, there is no dignity left in the word security.
Let’s be honest: the pattern of hollow assurances and bureaucratic softness over the past four years invited risk into American neighborhoods and institutions. Conservatives have warned for years that border chaos and reckless resettlement without adequate checks would have consequences; now we see those consequences writ painfully large. It is past time for policies rooted in reality—vetting, enforcement, and uncompromising support for those who defend our streets.
President Trump and his Justice Department deserve credit for moving swiftly to bolster security in the capital, redeploying forces where needed and ordering a re-examination of admissions that could threaten the public. Pam Bondi’s tough posture—declaring the department will pursue the death penalty where warranted and coordinate with federal and local partners—signals a return to law-and-order principles that reassure citizens. America must prioritize its citizens’ safety above political correctness.
As we demand justice for Sarah Beckstrom and a full accounting of how this attack happened, we must also stand with the brave National Guardsmen who stepped between danger and civilians. Democrats and the media can play politics or they can stand with the troops; real patriots will do the latter. Let those who failed to secure our country explain themselves while the DOJ, led by Bondi, prosecutes every case to the fullest extent of the law.
Hardworking Americans are tired of words and want results: real border security, real vetting, and a Justice Department that puts victims and public safety first. Pam Bondi’s vow on Hannity is a promise to do the hard work necessary to keep this nation safe again, and conservatives will keep fighting until those promises are kept. We will not forget the fallen, and we will not allow another generation to be put at risk by political failure.
