White House Offer The president said he’s proposed a meeting at the presidential residence for the parents of both members of the state Guard. “I said: ‘When you’re ready, because that’s a hard experience, come to the White House. We’re going to honor her,” the president addressed journalists. “And similarly with him, whether he recovers or not.” Public Support Community members gathered over the weekend at Webster County high school in West Virginia to honor Beckstrom. Both she and Wolfe had been fulfilling duties with the West Virginia National Guard as part of the president’s national effort to aid public safety in the capital. Paying Tribute to the Soldier “Sarah was the kind of student that teachers hoped for. She carried herself with inner fortitude, a bright grin and a upbeat demeanor that lifted people around her,” Jarrod Hankins, the principal of Beckstrom’s former high school, informed the media. “She was sweet, compassionate and always willing to support those in need.” Funeral plans for Sarah are still being arranged.

The incident prompted the Trump administration to suspend asylum processing and halt providing visas to owners of travel documents.
