When Naseer Paktiawal found out that his older brother was not feeling well after being taken into Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in mid-March, he called an ambulance.

Paktiawal said he watched the ambulance drive up to the Dallas facility where ICE processes people its officers have arrested. Later, he said he received another call from his brother, who told him that his condition was worsening and that the medics never checked on him.
