Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Sunday, March 15, 2026

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. Later that day, the former Afghan special forces soldier contacted family members from ICE custody to say he wasn't feeling well, they said. Around 11:45pm on Friday night, he was allegedly admitted to Parkland Hospital in Dallas. Around noon the following day, family members said they were informed he had died.

Sad.

Pres Trump's ICE is looking more and more out of control with each passing day.

The SF soldiers that fought alongside Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal are mighty pissed.

The SF vets may be thinking about plugging the bastards that arrested and killed him.

Now we know why ICE thugs wear masks.
