Meet Mohammed Rahhal, a “White” man with an immigration hold booked in Grand Prairie, Texas. How the heck does this keep happening - it seems VERY intentional!

Texas authorites booked Mohammed Rahhal as “White” on an immigration hold and a $15,000 drug bond

Grand Prairie police arrested the 43-year-old on Aug. 31, 2026. The inmate file lists a felony drug count for 1 to 4 grams

Nearly a month later, no public Grand Prairie or ICE release names his country of origin or says whether he was transferred, deported, or cut loose

Federal Statistical Policy Directive 15, in the 1997 version still used by many jails, folded Middle Eastern and North African origins into the ‘White’ racial category

OMB added a separate Middle Eastern or North African category in March 2024. Agencies have until March 28, 2029, to finish the switch

The Dallas Express documented the same coding on an Afghan national booked in Tarrant County after a Fort Worth bomb-threat case. That jail search offered white, black, Asian, or Indian.
