President Donald Trump said he would look into denaturalizing citizens “who undermine domestic tranquility” after two members of the National Guard were shot in a Washington, D.C., attack the day before Thanksgiving. The suspected gunman is an Afghan national who worked with our military during the war in Afghanistan. He came to America in 2021 through President Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome program following the chaotic Kabul withdrawal, but he was ultimately granted asylum by the Trump administration this year. When asked about denaturalization days after the attack, Trump said, "If we have criminals that came into our country, and they were naturalized, maybe through Biden or somebody that didn't know what they were doing, if i have the power to do it — I'm not sure that I do, but if I do — I would denaturalize.

Right before morning rush hour in midtown Manhattan on December 4th, 2024, UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson was shot and killed while on his way into an investors meeting. According to police, the suspected gunman was, “lying in wait for several minutes,” and then fled the scene following the attack. A nationwide manhunt ensued, and days later, Luigi Mangione was arrested at a Pennsylvania McDonald's and charged with Thompon’s killing. Since he was accused of gunning down the healthcare CEO in broad daylight, Mangione has become a surprising cultural phenomenon. While most find the crimes Mangione has been accused of horrific, he has been branded as a modern-day Robin Hood by some who see the shooting as a stand against a corrupt and broken health care system.
