The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that an Afghan national arrested in Texas on Tuesday for an alleged bomb threat entered the United States through the Biden-Harris administration’s Operation Allies Welcome program.
The arrest took place one day before an attack in Washington, D.C. that involved another Afghan national who entered under the same program.
Texas Department of Public Safety officers arrested Mohammad Dawood Alokozay after he posted a TikTok video in which he claimed he was building a bomb, according to Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin.
In a Saturday post on X, McLaughlin said Alokozay made threats against the Fort Worth area.
“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 and charged with making Terroristic Threats. @ICEgov has lodged a detainer.”

Both Alokozay and Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the suspect accused of carrying out the Washington, D.C. shooting that killed West Virginia National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounded West Virginia Air National Guard Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe, arrived in the United States through Operation Allies Welcome.
The program was launched after the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The shooting in Washington occurred near the White House.
Beckstrom and Wolfe, members of the West Virginia National Guard and West Virginia Air National Guard, were on duty when they were attacked.
Federal officials said both Guardsmen were deputized Thursday by the United States Marshals Service under CFR Title 28.
The designation allows personnel to act as deputy U.S. Marshals for a limited period of time.
President Donald Trump ordered National Guard deployments to Washington after his August 11 announcement of a federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department.
The announcement followed an attempted carjacking that left Department of Government Efficiency staffer Edward Coristine injured.
Federal authorities have maintained that the deployment is part of broader efforts to stabilize conditions in the capital and support ongoing public safety operations.
The investigation into both incidents remains ongoing. Federal agencies have not released further details regarding any connection between the Fort Worth bomb threat and the Washington shooting.
Authorities continue to review the circumstances surrounding the suspects’ entry into the United States through Operation Allies Welcome.
The magnitude of the national security crisis Joe Biden unleashed on our country over the span of four years cannot be overstated. President Trump has directed his entire team to continue rooting out this evil within our borders. https://t.co/QdsTLFXauC
