Hello, everyone. I'm Dana Perino along with Emily Campano, Jessica Tarlov, Jesse Waters, and Greg Gutfeld.

It's 5 o'clock in New York City, and this is the 5.

And disturbing new questions tonight on the betting of Afghan nationals after the horrific ambush, shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.

Investigators are digging deeper into the accused Afghan gunmen who killed Army National Guard specialist Sarah Bextram and leaving Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf clinging to life.

Tonight, we're told he's showing encouraging signs of improvement. We're also learning that 5,000 Afghan applicants have been

flagged for security concerns since 2021 when former President Biden took office. In response,

the Trump administration is halting all Afghan visas and reevaluating entry policies.

And the president is defending the freeze.

That animal should not have been allowed to come into a country.

How long does your administration plan to pause?

We don't want those people.

Is there a list?

Well, I guess we gave you 19, right?

It's probably more than that.

They're very crime-written countries.

They're countries that don't do a good job.

They're countries that don't register from the standpoint of success.

And we, frankly, don't need their people coming into our country telling us what to do.

White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt says the tragic shootings underscore the importance

of Trump's mass deportation operation.

The Trump administration is now actively reexamining all of the Afghans imported into the country

by Joe Biden.
