Yusuf Abdi Ali, a 71-year-old former Somali military officer, has been deported from the U.S. by ICE officials in Washington, D.C. Known as "Tukeh," Ali is accused of committing torture, terror, and various human rights abuses against civilians.
He served as a lieutenant colonel in the Somali National Army and led the Fifth Brigade in northwest Somalia during Siad Barre's dictatorship from 1987 to 1989. Somalia, located in the Horn of Africa, is home to one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa.
