Afghan man who worked with US military dies after taken into ICE custody - AP News

An Afghan man who had worked with the U.S. military died after being taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. The death highlights concerns about the treatment of Afghan allies who assisted American forces during the two-decade war in Afghanistan. Many Afghan interpreters and other support personnel who worked alongside U.S. troops have faced lengthy delays in immigration processing despite promises of protection for their service. The incident raises questions about ICE detention conditions and the federal government's handling of Afghan nationals who aided the American military mission. The death comes as thousands of Afghans who worked with U.S. forces continue to seek permanent legal status in the United States.
