"An Afghan national was arrested in Texas for making a terroristic threat in a TikTok video this week one day before another Afghan national shot two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. Fox News was the first outlet to report on Saturday that Mohammad Dawood Alokozay was arrested for saying he was building a bomb and intending to use it to harm citizens in the Fort Worth area."
"Alokozay was charged at the state level with making a terroristic threat, court records showed. The Fox News story, from reporters Brooke Taylor and Greg Norman, was based on sources from the Department of Homeland Security. Alokozay entered the U.S. in 2022 as part of then-President Joe Biden's Operation Allies Welcome, which resettled about 85,000 Afghans in the U.S. That same program brought Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the 29-year-old suspected shooter in D.C., to the States."
"Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, a 20-year-old National Guard member, was killed in the heinous attack on Wednesday. The other troop who was shot, 24-year-old Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, is fighting for his life in a hospital. She was savagely attacked. She's dead. She's not with us, Trump said on Thanksgiving. [Beckstrom was] outstanding in every single way, in every department. Just horrible. Trump, on Wednesday night, vowed the animal who shot the two troops will pay a very steep price."
An Afghan national was arrested in Fort Worth, Texas, after a TikTok video threatening to build a bomb and harm citizens led to a state charge of making a terroristic threat. The suspect entered the United States in 2022 through Operation Allies Welcome, which resettled about 85,000 Afghans, and is a lawful permanent resident facing a detainee hold by ICE. A separate Afghan national allegedly shot two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., killing 20-year-old Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and critically wounding Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe. The incident prompted an order to re-examine green card holders from 19 countries and a halt to Afghan immigration requests.
