据其家属和一个维权组织称，一名曾与美军特种部队并肩作战、在塔利班接管阿富汗后逃离祖国的阿富汗男子，在被移民当局拘留后不到一天内于本周末死亡。
穆罕默德·纳齐尔·帕克亚瓦尔于周六去世，距离他周五在达拉斯地区公寓外被移民和海关执法局拘留不到24小时。他的家人表示，这位41岁、有六个孩子的父亲没有已知的健康问题，自2021年8月抵达美国以来一直在寻求庇护。美国国土安全部表示，他的人道主义假释于去年8月到期。
国土安全部在声明中称，帕克亚瓦尔在一次“有针对性的执法行动”中被捕，在周五被捕后于达拉斯的移民和海关执法局现场办公室接受体检时，他报告了呼吸急促和胸痛症状，且没有既往病史记录。
移民和海关执法局联系了医护人员，将帕克亚瓦尔送往达拉斯医院。国土安全部发言人劳伦·比斯表示，周六帕克亚瓦尔舌头肿胀，并接受了静脉输液。他的情况在周六上午恶化，在医生进行心肺复苏和其他抢救措施后，于当地时间上午9点刚过死亡。
达拉斯县法医的初步报告未列出死因和死亡方式。帕克亚瓦尔的死亡是今年移民和海关执法局拘留中心内第12起在押人员死亡事件。
达拉斯地区阿富汗社区领袖拉赫曼拉·扎齐（Rahmanullah Zazy）表示，这一事件在得州紧密团结的阿富汗侨民社区引发了广泛的悲痛。2021年8月阿富汗政府倒台后，超过19万阿富汗人逃往美国，其中许多人定居在此。
“他们说我们的社区成员活着被送进拘留中心，现在我们只收到一具尸体，”扎齐说，“我们要正义和平。”
拜登政府在塔利班接管阿富汗后，美军撤离并结束二十年战争，撤离了数万名阿富汗人。
这一行动旨在保护那些与美军士兵并肩工作而使自己易受新塔利班政府报复的阿富汗人。

扎齐和一个为阿富汗难民发声的组织均表示，帕克亚瓦尔自2005年左右开始与美军特种部队并肩作战。
国土安全部在声明中称，帕克亚瓦尔进入美国时“未提供其服兵役的记录”。但维权组织阿富汗撤离组织提供了一份服役证明，表明帕克亚瓦尔曾在阿富汗东部靠近巴基斯坦边境的一个特种部队服役。
该组织主席肖恩·范迪弗（Shawn VanDiver）表示：“我们不知道他是怎么死的，只知道他死了。”
美国有线电视新闻网已联系该特种部队所在的布拉格堡军事基地，以核实帕克亚瓦尔是否曾与美军士兵并肩作战。
特朗普总统去年上任后，大幅修改美国难民政策，切断了数千名直接为美国政府工作或代表美国政府工作的阿富汗人的关键援助。
去年11月，一名通过“盟军欢迎行动”（Operation Allies Welcome）来到美国并于去年获得庇护的阿富汗男子涉嫌在华盛顿特区枪杀两名国民警卫队成员，造成一人死亡。这名枪手拉赫曼拉·拉坎瓦尔（Rahmanullah Lakanwal）在2021年进入美国前曾在阿富汗为中央情报局工作超过十年。司法部已表示将寻求对他判处死刑。
这起枪击事件促使特朗普呼吁重新审查拜登政府时期从阿富汗迁移到美国的所有人。
国土安全部发言人比斯在关于帕克亚瓦尔死亡的声明中批评拜登政府时期的这一项目，称其让“数千名未经审查的阿富汗公民”进入美国。
但这一说法具有误导性。所有进入美国的阿富汗人都受到情报、执法和反恐专业人员的审查，官员和专家表示，撤离的阿富汗人有时会经过不止一次审查——在阿富汗境内以及进入美国前在中转国停留期间。
范迪弗表示，帕克亚瓦尔有六个孩子，年龄从18个月到15岁不等，其中最小的是美国公民。
在简短的采访中，帕克亚瓦尔的兄弟纳塞尔（Naseer）称他的兄弟是“英雄”。
“他就在这里，却在不到24小时内被杀害，”他说。
Afghan man who served alongside US forces dies after less than a day in ICE custody, family and advocates say

An Afghan man who served alongside US special forces and fled his native country after its takeover by the Taliban died over the weekend shortly after being detained by immigration authorities, according to his family and an advocacy group.
Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal died on Saturday, less than a day after he was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement outside of his Dallas-area apartment. His family said the 41-year-old father of six had no known health conditions and had been seeking asylum since his arrival to the US in August 2021. The Department of Homeland Security said his humanitarian parole expired last August.
DHS said in a statement that Paktyawal, who was arrested during a “targeted enforcement operation” and did not report any prior medical history, complained of shortness of breath and chest pains during his medical intake exam at a Dallas ICE field office after his Friday arrest.
ICE contacted paramedics, who transported Paktyawal to a Dallas hospital, DHS spokesperson Lauren Bis said. On Saturday, Paktyawal’s tongue was swollen and he received an IV drip. His condition deteriorated Saturday morning and he died shortly after 9 a.m. local time after receiving CPR and other resuscitative efforts from physicians, Bis added.
An initial report from the Dallas County Medical Examiner listed no cause or manner of death. Paktyawal’s death marks the 12th of a detainee in ICE custody this year.
It has prompted widespread grief in the close-knit Afghan diaspora community in Texas, where many of the more than 190,000 Afghans who fled to the US after the country’s government collapsed in August 2021 settled, said Rahmanullah Zazy, a leader in the Dallas-area Afghan community who knew Paktyawal and his family.
“They’re saying they took our community member alive to the detention center, and now we are getting the dead body,” Zazy said. “We want peace.”
The Biden administration evacuated tens of thousands of Afghans after the country’s government was taken over by the Taliban as the US withdrew, ending two decades of war.
The effort was meant to protect Afghans whose work alongside US servicemembers made them vulnerable to reprisals from the new Taliban government.

Both Zazy and a group that has advocated for Afghan refugees said Paktyawal served alongside US special forces starting around 2005.
DHS said in its statement that, upon entering the US, Paktyawal “provided no record of his military service.” But the advocacy group, AfghanEvac, provided a certificate of service indicating Paktyawal served alongside a special forces group in eastern Afghanistan, along the Pakistan border.
“We don’t know how he died,” said the group’s president, Shawn VanDiver. “We just know he’s dead.”
CNN has reached out to Fort Bragg, the military base where the special forces group was based, to confirm Paktyawal’s service alongside the US service members.
After President Donald Trump took office last year, he enacted broad changes to US refugee policy which cut off thousands of vulnerable Afghans who worked directly for or on behalf of the US government from critical assistance.
The program came under greater scrutiny in November, after an Afghan man who came to the US through Operation Allies Welcome and was granted asylum last year allegedly shot two National Guard members in Washington, DC, killing one. The shooting suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan for over a decade before entering the US in 2021. The Justice Department has said it is seeking the death penalty against him.
The shooting prompted Trump to call for a re-examination of every person who migrated from Afghanistan during the Biden administration.
In her statement on Paktyawal’s death, Bis, the DHS spokesperson, criticized the Biden-era program, which she said let “thousands of unvetted Afghan nationals” into the United States.
But that claim is misleading. All Afghans who entered the United States were subject to screenings by intelligence, law enforcement and counterterrorism professionals, and officials and experts have said evacuated Afghans were sometimes vetted more than once – both while they were in Afghanistan and in transit countries where they were staying before entering the US.
VanDiver said Paktyawal had six children aged 18-months to 15-years-old, the youngest of whom is an American citizen.
In a brief interview, Paktyawal’s brother, Naseer, described his brother as a “hero.”
“He was here,” he said, “and he just got killed in less than 24 hours.”
