Afghan asylum seeker dies in ICE custody, US advocacy group says

An Afghan asylum seeker, Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal, who previously worked with the US military in Afghanistan, died in ICE custody in Texas less than 24 hours after being detained, according to a US veteran-led advocacy group. He had been living with his wife and six children in a Dallas suburb while his asylum case was pending. The incident raises serious concerns about immigration enforcement and the treatment of individuals with US military service connections.
