💥 BREAKING NEWS: Trump official crumbles on live TV after DC shooting facts reveal asylum was approved under his own administration⚡NN

Homeland Security Secretary Christy Gnome thought Sunday would be simple: blame Joe Biden for the shocking shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, DC, and walk away looking like the guardian of national security. Instead, she walked into a buzzsaw made of facts — and every attempt to dodge responsibility only made the damage worse.

The script was straightforward: claim the shooter was one of “Biden’s Afghans,” say he wasn’t vetted, and insist the administration recklessly flooded America with dangerous refugees. But the moment NBC’s Kristen Welker calmly pointed out that the suspect’s asylum was approved in April — under the Trump administration — everything started breaking in real time.

Welker kept it simple:
If asylum was approved under Trump’s DHS, what vetting did they do?

Gnome’s answer? Pretend the question was about Biden anyway.

She repeated the same line like a glitching NPC: Biden didn’t vet them, Biden let them in, Biden’s process, Biden’s fault. Welker corrected her again: asylum was approved on Trump’s watch. What vetting did you do before saying yes?

Gnome’s response: the vetting “all happened under Joe Biden,” and Trump’s team just… used it.

That wasn’t the defense she thought it was.

Because what she really admitted was this:
Trump’s DHS approved asylum for the suspect based entirely on Biden-era vetting — without performing any additional checks.

ABC’s Jonathan Karl tried too. He asked the same basic question: you say he was radicalized in the US, you say Biden let him in — but Trump granted him asylum in April. Were there any red flags? Did Trump’s team review anything? Or did they just stamp it and move on?

Gnome folded back into the same loop: the application started under Biden, the information came from Biden, the responsibility lies with Biden. She never once explained what Trump’s DHS actually did before approving asylum.

It was like watching someone step on a rake, then pick it up, then step on it again.

Meanwhile, Trump himself wasn’t handling the truth much better. When confronted with his own DOJ report confirming that Afghans brought in under Operation Allies Welcome were extensively vetted by DHS and the FBI, he didn’t argue the data — he attacked the reporter.

“Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person?” he snapped, insisting Biden “let them in” while ignoring the fact that his own administration later approved the shooter’s asylum.

Layered on top of that is the bigger, uglier context:
– A Trump-world memo outlining plans to review and potentially deport refugees admitted under Biden
– A pause on certain green card approvals
– A political machine that’s spent months using the military, media, and rhetoric to demonize anyone with brown skin, an accent, or a foreign name

Add in reports that the shooter struggled with mental health issues after arriving in 2021, and you get a grim possible motive: a refugee caught between trauma, political hostility, and a system that treated him like a talking point instead of a human being.

Gnome’s problems didn’t end with asylum.

Both interviewers raised another bombshell: a federal judge had ordered deportation flights to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador to stop. Yet flights continued — and the Justice Department said Gnome personally made the final call to keep sending people anyway.

Pressed on whether she defied the order, she tried to dodge behind “activist judges” and “radical decisions,” even as she admitted the deportation decisions were hers and under her “complete authority.” Her logic boiled down to: we comply with all lawful orders — and if I don’t like the order, it doesn’t count.

This isn’t new behavior. Senator Chris Murphy has already warned that her department is “out of control” — overspending, ignoring congressional appropriations, inventing new immigration systems with no basis in law, and trampling the rights of migrants who still have constitutional protections.

The low point? Her mangled definition of habeas corpus — calling it a presidential power to remove people from the country, instead of what it actually is: a core protection that forces the government to publicly justify detaining anyone, citizen or not.

Put it all together and the pattern is impossible to miss:

Any fact she doesn’t like becomes Biden’s fault.
Any judge who rules against her becomes “activist.”
Any legal limit becomes optional.
Any hard question becomes a looped talking point.

And in the middle of all that spin sits a brutal truth:
Trump’s own administration approved asylum for the DC shooting suspect.

No amount of blame-shifting can un-sign that decision.
