Paktyawal’s wife told #AfghanEvac that ICE refused her attempts to pass along a rescue inhaler that Paktyawal relied on to breathe during emergencies. “She says she tried to give them the inhaler. She says they refused.”
“One fact is clear: it is not normal for a healthy 41-year-old man to die within a day of being taken into government custody,” said Shawn VanDiver, a veteran and founder of #AfghanEvac said. “Mr. Paktyawal survived our war in Afghanistan and trusted the U.S. enough to rebuild his life here.”
This is terrible, I'm a member of #AfghanEvac and I hate this admin. They're cretins and murderers.

“This man fought our war for 10 years,” said Shawn VanDiver, president of #AfghanEvac. “He had six kids, one of whom is an American citizen. He was brought here by the United States of America. He’s been working hard in Texas, paying taxes ... He was doing everything right.” #AbuseofPowerWatch

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal’s family has released a statement following his death less than 24 hours after entering ICE custody.
He was a husband, a father of six, and an Afghan wartime ally who worked alongside U.S. Special Forces.
The family has asked #AfghanEvac to share this statement.
This is how our government treats immigrants who fought beside us.

I'm a member of #AfghanEvac a veteran group who vouch for our allies in court and escort them to and fro their appointments. My Signal gc reads like Anne Franke's diary. 😮💨😡😣
#AfghanEvac even, sorry for the typo.
Escorted a wartime ally to an immigration appointment with #AfghanEvac #BattleBuddies this afternoon. Unfortunately, following the law to the 'T' does not prevent ICE from illegally arresting our wartime allies. With us, they know they can't do that in secret. Appt. went good.

These are Afghan allies who stood with the U.S. They shouldn’t be punished by stalled processes or holiday enforcement.
America can and must do better.
