· KRGV (NBC 5)
Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, a 41-year-old Afghan national who fought alongside U.S. forces, died in ICE custody on March 14 due to an allergic reaction, as stated in his death certificate. Detained for deportation the day before, Paktiawal experienced anaphylaxis triggered by an unidentified substance, worsening his asthma. His death has sparked outrage, with calls for the release of his autopsy report, which Texas authorities are withholding, citing an ongoing criminal investigation. Paktiawal had entered the U.S. legally and was awaiting asylum when he was arrested in Richardson, Texas, over charges he had not been convicted of.
