Immigration and Refugees

Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, an Afghan national admitted to the U.S. under Operation Allies Welcome, was federally charged with transmitting a threatening communication after prosecutors say a circulated video showed him speaking in Dari threatening a suicide bombing against "infidels" and U.S. citizens and referencing a cooking‑oil container Taliban fighters have used to make IEDs. Texas DPS alerted the FBI after the video circulated in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, facial recognition identified Alokozay, who is being held at the Tarrant County Corrections Center awaiting a plea, and Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized vetting and pledged continued DOJ action.
