Ex-Afghan soldier who worked with US forces dies in ICE custody

A 41-year-old former Afghan soldier who worked with US forces in Afghanistan since 2005 died in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody less than 24 hours after being detained in Texas. Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal was evacuated from Afghanistan in 2021 when US withdrew its forces. ICE called Paktiawal, who sought asylum in US, a "criminal illegal alien" after his death.
