A recent arrest in Texas has highlighted national security concerns, with an Afghan national, Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, taken into custody for allegedly posting a TikTok video depicting bomb-making activities. The video suggested a threat to the Fort Worth region. Alokozay arrived in the United States through Operation Allies Welcome, a program established after the 2021 U.S. troop departure from Afghanistan. He has been charged at the state level with terroristic threats. The apprehension was coordinated by federal and state law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued a detainer for Alokozay. The timing of his arrest, just prior to an incident near the White House involving another Afghan national, has drawn significant attention.
