Death in ICE Custody: The Nazeer Paktiawal Case

An Afghan asylum seeker, Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, died in ICE custody just days after being detained outside his home—his tongue swelling and chest pains escalating to his death. A former U.S. Army Special Forces partner, he fled Kabul with his family and left behind six children. Despite promises of a full investigation, ICE’s report and the autopsy—due 90 days ago—remain unreleased. His brother demands transparency, while Senator Blumenthal threatens subpoenas to force accountability. Critics argue his arrests stemmed from policies that stripped him of his livelihood, making survival nearly impossible for those who served alongside American troops.
