An Afghan Asylum Seeker Dies in ICE Custody

An Afghan immigrant who previously worked with the U.S. military in Afghanistan and later sought asylum in the U.S. died in ICE custody. Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal, 41, was arrested in Dallas while taking his children to school and died the following day. This incident marks the 12th death in ICE detention this year, highlighting concerns about immigration policies under the Trump administration. ICE has not yet responded to requests for comment.

The family of Paktyawal was informed that he was taken to a hospital in Dallas but died shortly after. This case underscores the need for increased oversight and accountability in immigration detention facilities.
