Afghan Ally Dies in ICE Custody After Assisting U.S. Forces
An Afghan father, Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, who previously served with U.S. forces in Afghanistan and was granted parole into the U.S. in 2021, died in immigration custody less than 24 hours after his arrest. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) stated that Paktiawal had a criminal history and his temporary legal status had expired, though his family asserts his legal presence in the country. Paktiawal was detained while taking his children to school and later experienced medical distress, leading to his hospitalization and eventual death. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death is ongoing, with his family seeking justice.
