Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal served with U.S. forces in Afghanistan and legally evacuated the country, then died within a day of being taken into ICE custody, according to his family
An Afghan man who fought with U.S. forces and was legally evacuated to the U.S. after the fall of Kabul died this week within a day of being arrested by federal immigration officers in Texas, according to his family.
The reported death would be at least the 24th in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody this fiscal year, which began in October. The administration is on track for the deadliest year in ICE detention in more than two decades.
Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal, 41, was preparing to drive his kids to school in the Dallas area on Friday when agents in unmarked vehicles allegedly surrounded him and arrested him in front of his children.
Historically soldiers were treated like shit and were poorly paid if at all, and after their service they were just forgotten and not cared for.
The generation that fought WW2 had it best of all but it was far from the norm.
The parents of the generation that fought in World War 2, who themselves fought in World War 1, struggled to get paid for actually fighting, like they were promised.
When those WW1 veterans and their families organized a protest encampment in DC to demand that they be paid the money they were owed, the military was sent in to violently break up the encampment, with cavalry and tanks.
