Afghan man who served with U.S. forces dies in ICE custody in Texas
An Afghan immigrant who worked with U.S. forces died less than 24 hours after being taken into ICE custody, with family seeking answers about the cause of death.

An Afghan immigrant who previously served alongside U.S. forces died in immigration custody in Texas less than 24 hours after being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.
The man's family has received no information from authorities regarding the cause of his death, according to reports. His son and brother are demanding answers about the circumstances that led to his death while in federal custody.
The deceased had a history of working with U.S. military forces during operations in Afghanistan, though specific details about his service role were not immediately available. His immigration status and the reason for his arrest by ICE have not been disclosed.
ICE has not released an official statement regarding the death or provided details about the timeline of events following the man's arrest. The agency typically conducts internal reviews when deaths occur in custody.
The incident adds to ongoing scrutiny of conditions and medical care within immigration detention facilities. Immigrant advocacy groups have previously raised concerns about deaths in ICE custody and called for greater transparency in such cases.
The family continues to seek information from federal authorities about what happened during the brief period the man was held in custody before his death.
