A father of six who fought shoulder-to-shoulder with U.S. troops in Afghanistan died just hours after he was detained by ICE.

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal, 41, served as an Afghan special forces soldier from 2005 and worked alongside U.S. Army Special Forces for more than a decade before he was evacuated by the U.S. and resettled while he sought asylum, according to the AfghanEvac nonprofit.

Having moved to America to start a new life with his family, he had been preparing to drive his children to school on Friday, March 13, when agents in unmarked vehicles surrounded him and detained him.

Within 24 hours, he was dead.
