Former Afghan ally who died in ICE custody suffered an allergic reaction, death certificate says

Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, an Afghan national who fought alongside U.S. forces, died from an allergic reaction while in ICE custody, a day after being detained for deportation. His death was ruled accidental, caused by an adverse drug reaction that led to anaphylaxis and worsened his asthma. Paktiawal’s death has sparked outrage, as he had risked his life supporting U.S. Special Forces in Afghanistan. Advocacy groups and Congress members are demanding the release of his autopsy report, which Texas authorities have withheld, citing a pending investigation. Paktiawal was evacuated from Afghanistan in 2021 and was seeking asylum in the U.S. when ICE arrested him on charges of food stamp fraud and theft, though he had not been convicted. ICE claims he denied having medical conditions or allergies during screening. His sudden death raises questions about the circumstances and the substance that caused the reaction. QUESTION: How might the treatment of allies like Paktiawal impact future international collaborations with the U.S.?
