Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national, is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday in connection with the November shooting of two West Virginia National Guard members near the White House, according to ABC News. The incident resulted in the death of Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, 20, who succumbed to her injuries on Nov. 26, the day before Thanksgiving. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe was also severely wounded, suffering a gunshot wound to the head and remains in recovery.

Lakanwal faces nine charges, including first-degree murder, assault with intent to kill, and illegal possession of a firearm, ABC News reported. He has pleaded not guilty. Lakanwal previously worked with the CIA in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, in New York City, antisemitic incidents have seen a dramatic increase, according to Fox News. Police data released on Tuesday revealed that anti-Jewish hate crimes soared 182% in January, with 31 reported incidents compared to 11 in January 2025. These incidents accounted for more than half of all hate crimes in January, which stood at 56, an increase of 152% over the same period last year. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for the New York and New Jersey region called the 182% spike "staggering," Fox News reported.

In other news, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accused KTLA, a Los Angeles-based news station, of "dishonest reporting" after the station's coverage of an immigration-related arrest, according to Fox News. KTLA reported on Monday that local residents were "outraged and devastated" by what the station described as an "immigration raid on L.A. church grounds" at the North Hills United Methodist Church, where "a beloved community member" was arrested on Thursday. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin discussed bodycams, sanctuary cities, and immigration issues during Americas Newsroom.

President Donald Trump spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday to discuss a range of issues, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, Fox News reported. Trump stressed that their relationship "is an extremely good one" that will bring "many positive results" in the coming years. The president and Xi also discussed Trump's upcoming trip to Beijing in April, which he said he "very much" looks forward to. "I have just completed an excellent telephone conversation with President Xi, of China. It was a long and thorough call, where many important subjects were discussed, including," Trump said, according to Fox News.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Joe Milton III opened up about his short experience with the New England Patriots on Tuesday and how he "felt disrespected" while in the organization, Fox News reported. Milton opened up to WEEI Radio ahead of Super Bowl LX. He explained how he believed he was doing well in practice and didn't see why he wasn't moved up the depth chart last season when Drake Maye was named the starter over Jacoby Brissett.
