Outrage as Afghan asylum seeker who fought alongside US dies in ICE custody

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal, an Afghan asylum seeker who fought alongside US forces, died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody less than 24 hours after being detained. His family and advocates are demanding a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. The case has sparked outrage given Paktyawal's history of supporting American military operations in Afghanistan, highlighting concerns about how the US treats Afghan allies who assisted in the war effort. His death raises questions about conditions in ICE detention facilities and the treatment of Afghan refugees who worked with US forces during the 20-year conflict. The incident comes as thousands of Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and other allies continue seeking refuge in the United States following the Taliban's return to power.
