Just as Americans are coming to grips with the Thanksgiving Eve ambush by an Afghan terrorist on two members of the West Virginia National Guard who were patrolling the streets of Washington, D.C., we are getting confirmation from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that another Afghan national brought to the United States under Operation Allies Welcome was arrested last week after making terroristic threats on TikTok.
In fact, the Texas arrest was made just one day before Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, opened fire on Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe outside D.C.'s Farragut West Metro station, which resulted in Beckstrom's death and left Wolfe fighting for his life in the hospital.

DHS's Tricia McLaughlin released some of the details Saturday afternoon, noting that Mohammad Dawood Alokozay was taken into custody last Tuesday after posting a video of himself on TikTok "indicating he was building a bomb with an intended target of 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.

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.
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. 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.
Details about Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, the Texas suspect, are thin at this time, but we do know that he was brought to the United States on September 7, 2022 – and was classified as a "lawful permanent resident" – under the same program that saw Rahmanullah Lakanwal, the DC terror suspect, welcomed into our country by the Biden administration.

Operation Allies Welcome was launched by President Biden on August 29, 2021, just days after the botched withdrawal of U.S. forces out of Afghanistan, "to support vulnerable Afghans, including those who worked alongside us in Afghanistan for the past two decades, as they safely resettle in the United States."
Shortly after launching the operation, Biden said in an address to the nation, "As for the Afghans, we and our partners have airlifted 100,000 of them. We will continue to work to help more people leave the country who are at risk. And we're far from done." It is estimated that nearly 200,000 Afghan nationals were brought into the U.S. under this program and another short-lived one called Operation Enduring Welcome.
Many on the right have long questioned the vetting process used when bringing these individuals into the country. President Trump, in the wake of the Guardsmen shootings, has put a halt to all immigration from third world countries.
Editor's Note: The Deep State is working overtime to subvert President Trump's agenda and the will of the people.
