An Afghan who settled in the United States under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome program has been arrested in Texas for allegedly posting a TikTok video threatening to bomb the Fort Worth area.
Jail records list him as “white.”
Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, 27, was booked into the Tarrant County Jail last Tuesday on charges of making a terroristic threat.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Alokozay entered the US as part of the 2021 evacuation efforts following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.
DHS investigators arrested him after the video appeared online showing him building a bomb.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has since placed a detainer on him, signaling possible immigration proceedings following his state indictment.
The arrest came just one day before a separate incident in Washington, DC, where another Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, allegedly shot two National Guard members near the White House. One died on Thanksgiving and the other remains in critical condition in the hospital.
“The magnitude of the national security crisis that Joe Biden has unleashed on our country over the past four years cannot be overstated. President Trump has tasked his entire team to continue rooting out this evil within our borders,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote about Alokozay on Saturday on X.
Shockingly, Tarrant County Jail records list Alokozay’s race as “white,” despite his Afghan heritage.
This classification has sparked criticism on social media, with users claiming it distorts crime statistics by categorizing individuals from the Middle East or Central Asia among the ‘white’ demographic.

Such classifications are used to downplay crimes committed by immigrants from certain regions, inflating “white” crime rates in official data.

ICE has since placed a detainee on Alokozay, but as of Saturday evening he remains in custody in Tarrant County.
