WASHINGTON, D.C. November 26, 2025 – In a fiery address from the White House briefing room, President Donald J. Trump issued a stark warning on immigration policy, demanding an immediate review of every Afghan national admitted to the United States under the previous Biden administration. The announcement comes amid heightened national security concerns following a brutal attack in Colorado, where an Afghan immigrant allegedly beheaded his wife in a shocking display of violence that has reignited debates over vetting procedures and border security.
Standing before the presidential seal flanked by American flags, Trump declared, “We must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden, and we must take all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.” The remarks, delivered with characteristic intensity, underscore the administration’s “America First” agenda, emphasizing swift action to protect U.S. citizens from what Trump described as “preventable tragedies born of lax policies.”
The President’s statement was prompted by the horrific incident in Aurora, Colorado, where authorities say 35-year-old Mohammad Rahimi, an Afghan refugee resettled in the U.S. in 2021, allegedly decapitated his 30-year-old wife, Hawa Bibi, during a domestic dispute. Witnesses reported the gruesome scene unfolding in broad daylight, with Rahimi fleeing the area before being apprehended. The attack has drawn widespread condemnation, with local law enforcement confirming the victim’s identity and the suspect’s ties to the Afghan diaspora community.
Trump’s directive signals a potential escalation in deportation efforts, building on executive orders already targeting millions of undocumented immigrants. White House officials have not yet detailed the scope of the reexamination process, but sources close to the administration indicate it could involve enhanced background checks by ICE and DHS, prioritizing individuals with criminal records or security risks. “This isn’t about cruelty—it’s about common sense,” a senior aide told reporters off the record. “The Biden-era floodgates let in threats we can’t afford to ignore.”
Public reaction has been swift and polarized. Supporters of the President’s stance flooded social media with calls for mass deportations, echoing sentiments like “Remove EVERY damn non-citizen now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” from online commentators. Others urged immediate action without bureaucratic delays: “Why do we need to examine them? Just get them TF out.” Memes and images circulating on X (formerly Twitter) depicted the need for “MASS DEPORTATIONS,” with one viral post reading, “Don’t reexamine them. Just send them back.”
Critics, however, decried the rhetoric as overly broad and potentially discriminatory. Immigrant rights groups, including the ACLU, issued statements warning of “xenophobic overreach” that could ensnare law-abiding families. “Painting an entire community with the brush of one tragedy is not leadership—it’s fearmongering,” said Maria Gonzalez, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center. Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, called for a balanced approach, praising local police response while advocating for mental health resources in immigrant communities.
The White House Rapid Response team amplified the President’s words via an official X post, sharing video footage of the briefing that has garnered over 222,000 views and thousands of engagements within hours. The clip, timestamped late Wednesday evening, ends with a call to action: “Text ‘POTUS’ to 45470 for updates from the White House.”
This development arrives as Trump’s second term pushes forward on campaign promises to overhaul immigration enforcement. With midterm elections looming in 2026, the issue remains a flashpoint, blending national security fears with humanitarian concerns. As investigations into the Colorado attack continue, all eyes are on how the administration will translate rhetoric into policy—potentially reshaping the lives of thousands in the process.
