DHS: Afghan National Charged With Making Terror Threats

An Afghan national brought to the United States under Operation Allies Welcome in 2021 has been charged with making terroristic threats, the Department of Homeland Security said Saturday.

“Just one day before the terrorist attack against our @NationalGuard, another Afghan national who was paroled into the United States under Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome was arrested for threatening to blow up a building in Fort Worth,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a post on X.

“Mohammad Dawood Alokozay posted a video of himself on TikTok indicating he was building a bomb with an intended target of the Fort Worth area. He was arrested on Tuesday by the Texas Department of Public Safety and the FBI JTTF and charged with making terroristic threats. @ICEgov has lodged a detainer.”
