Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, a 41-year-old Afghan national, died in ICE custody on March 14 due to an allergic reaction, according to his death certificate. Paktiawal, who had fought alongside U.S. forces in Afghanistan, was detained for deportation just a day prior. The cause of death was ruled an accident, but his family and advocacy groups are demanding transparency regarding the circumstances, including the substance that triggered the reaction. Paktiawal had been in the U.S. legally and was awaiting asylum. His death has raised concerns about ICE's treatment of detainees, especially as he had not been convicted of any crimes.
