The Department of Homeland Security confirmed an Afghan national arrested Tuesday in Texas over an alleged bomb threat was allowed into the U.S. by the Biden administration.
The Texas Department of Public Safety arrested Mohammad Dawood Alokozay after he posted a video on TikTok in which he claimed he was building a bomb, Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin said in a Saturday post on X. Alokozay’s arrest occurred a day before an attack on West Virginia National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C. by another Afghan national allowed into the country by the Biden administration.
“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,” McLaughlin posted.

“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,” McLaughlin continued. “He was arrested on Tuesday by the Texas Department of Public Safety and FBI JTTF [Joint Terrorism Task Force] and charged with making Terroristic Threats. @ICEgov has lodged a detainer.”
Both Alokozay and Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the suspect accused of fatally shooting West Virginia National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounding West Virginia Air National Guard Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, were brought into the country under Operation Allies Welcome, a Biden administration program established in the wake of the American military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
Wolfe and Beckstrom were both deputized Tursday by the United States Marshals Service under CFR Title 28, allowing the deputized personnel to act as a deputy United States Marshal for a limited period of time.
President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of the National Guard to Washington after his Aug. 11 announcement of a federal takeover of the capital city’s Metropolitan Police Department following an attempted carjacking which left Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer Edward Coristine injured.
