The Trump administration will be expanding its ban on travel for citizens of certain countries to more than 30, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said, in the latest restriction to come since a man from Afghanistan was accused of shooting two National Guard members. The expansion would build on a travel ban already announced in June by the Republican administration, which barred travel to the U.S. for citizens from 12 countries and restricted access to the U.S. for people from seven others.

Aly, an Afghan national, lives in hiding in Pakistan. ALY: I can say that in these months we got older more than 10 or 20 years. HADID: Like he and his wife have aged 20 years. He asks we not use his full name. He's at risk of deportation to Afghanistan, where he fears he'll be harmed or killed. He was a translator in Afghanistan from 2018 to 2021 and was in the pipeline to enter the U.S. ALY: Doors are closing day by day.

Our hearts go out and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of a beautiful 20-year-old Sarah Beckstrom, who answered the call to serve her nation, said Pirro. And she volunteered, and she ended up being shot, ambush style, on the cold streets of Washington D.C. by an individual who will now be charged with murder in the first degree.

The 29-year-old suspect was identified as an Afghan national who previously worked with the CIA and other U.S. agencies. He, too, remains in a local hospital under heavy surveillance after being shot by another Guard member, Pirro confirmed. She said the likely charges for the attack are three counts of assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.

We need some expertise here. A lot of speculation can go several different ways right now. This happened in our nation's capital. It happened near the White House. It seems to be very brash and bold kind of an attack of some sort. We don't know anything about motive. But tell us about going into a holiday, the type of intelligence we're gathering, what we're seeing, Jones began, introducing Sexton a former CIA and NYPD officer.
