Afghan Veteran’s Death in ICE Custody | Houston News

An Afghan veteran turned asylum seeker, Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, died in ICE custody just days after being arrested in Texas—his family says he had no drug history or allergies. The death certificate cites anaphylaxis from a meth reaction, but his brother demands the truth, as authorities withhold the full autopsy and block public access, citing an ongoing federal probe. Despite serving with U.S. Army Special Forces for over a decade, DHS claims no record of his service—and no charges were ever filed for alleged SNAP fraud. Advocates push for transparency, insisting the public deserves to know what really happened to a man who left behind a wife and six children.
