Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal, an Afghan man who served alongside US special forces, died just hours after being detained by ICE, with his death sparking widespread grief and questions within the Afghan community.
Paktyawal, 41, and a father of six, had no known health conditions, according to his family. He had been seeking asylum since his arrival in the US in August 2021, though the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated his humanitarian parole had expired last August.
