An Afghan man who once helped the U.S. military abroad is being held in ICE detention after his arrest Thursday.
An Afghan man who worked as a translator for the U.S. military during the war was detained by ICE after showing up for a hearing inside of a federal courthouse in San Diego, his attorney says. He fears that if he returns to Afghanistan, he would be tortured or even killed, @nbcsandiego.com reports.

This guy is no different than any other illegal immigrant. It's like saying since I've done work with Norway, I should have the right to enter Norway under illegal conditions.

He did enter the country legally. He came in through a legal port of entry where he turned himself in to border agents and requested asylum. This is the same process one would follow if they were seeking refuge in Norway.
