Dallas — 3月13日，阿富汗移民纳希尔·帕克提亚瓦尔（Naseer Paktiawal）接到了美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）的电话，该局刚刚在得克萨斯州北部逮捕了他的兄弟。他的兄弟首先告诉他的是自己感觉不舒服。
“我告诉[特工]我的兄弟需要帮助。他感觉不好，身体疼痛，”他在得克萨斯州理查森市接受CBS新闻采访时表示。“他告诉我，别担心，我们有护士，会照顾他。然后就挂断了我的电话。”
不到24小时后，他被告知他41岁的兄弟穆罕默德·纳齐尔·帕克提亚瓦尔（Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal）已经死亡。
帕克提亚瓦尔在2021年夏天美军撤离阿富汗期间从阿富汗撤离，他是今年在ICE拘留期间死亡的第12人。两天后，一名19岁的墨西哥男子被推定自杀身亡。截至目前，今年已有13人死亡，是去年同期的三倍多。根据CBS新闻对ICE记录的分析，2025年ICE拘留中心共有31人死亡，创20年来新高。
死亡人数上升之际，在特朗普总统对非法移民采取强硬打击的背景下，ICE的拘留人数达到历史新高。机构数据显示，截至2月初，ICE在美国各地的拘留中心关押了超过6.8万人。
但CBS新闻的分析发现，即便考虑到每年拘留人数，2025年的死亡率仍然是2020年新冠疫情以来最高的，每1万名被拘留者中有5.6人死亡。
据其家人和ICE称，帕克提亚瓦尔没有既往病史，他的突然死亡仍在调查中。他的家人表示，他在阿富汗曾与美军并肩作战约十年。
“他是个英雄，”他12岁的儿子伊姆兰·帕克提亚瓦尔（Imrain Paktiawal）告诉CBS新闻，“他永远是个英雄。”
帕克提亚瓦尔是自2008年以来首位在ICE拘留中死亡的阿富汗籍人员。ICE表示，帕克提亚瓦尔是在当地因欺诈和盗窃指控被捕后，在一次针对性执法行动中被拘留的。据当地官员称，在他死亡时，这些案件尚未得到裁决。
美国国土安全部在一份声明中表示，帕克提亚瓦尔通过假释移民政策合法进入美国，该政策允许官员基于人道主义理由快速接纳移民。但国土安全部称，这种临时身份已于去年8月到期。
ICE拘留那些政府试图驱逐的人，包括被指控非法滞留美国的非公民以及因刑事犯罪等原因被认定可驱逐的非公民。
ICE拘留中心长期以来因医疗资源不足受到批评。近几个月来，国会民主党人指控ICE拘留中心存在人权侵犯行为，包括医疗疏忽，并要求国土安全部加强监督。多个组织已提起诉讼，指控ICE拘留中心存在不人道条件。
ICE多次否认其拘留中心存在条件不合格的指控。
去年一些死亡的被拘留者在死前曾向家人抱怨无法获得适当的医疗护理。
75岁的伊西德罗·佩雷斯（Isidro Perez）去年6月在佛罗里达州基拉戈被捕时患有心脏病，他告诉前伴侣自己在拘留期间胸痛且未获得药物治疗。ICE的死亡报告称，一名医生在拘留期间下令给他用药。佩雷斯在被拘留三周后的6月26日死亡。
人权观察组织称，乌克兰籍男子马克西姆·切尔尼亚克（Maksym Chernyak）2025年2月因中风死亡，他曾告诉妻子和狱友，尽管出现心悸和便血等症状，仍被拒绝立即医疗护理和药物。
ICE自己的死亡报告也显示存在延误治疗的情况。27岁的哥伦比亚籍布雷扬·雷奥-加松（Brayan Rayo-Garzon）2025年4月自杀身亡，他的心理健康预约被两次推迟。在预约之前，他被发现倒在牢房中失去意识。34岁的利奥·克鲁兹·席尔瓦（Leo Cruz Silva）去年10月自杀身亡，两天前ICE医护人员记录他正经历心理健康危机。
雷奥-加松和席尔瓦是2025年初以来七名明显自杀身亡的被拘留者中的两人。另有一名被拘留者的死亡被裁定为他杀：ICE特工按住55岁的坎波斯·卢纳斯（Campos Lunas）直到他停止呼吸。ICE的死亡报告称，警卫是在干预以防止他自残。
ICE长期否认其提供的医疗服务不足的指控。每当有死亡事件公布时，该机构都会声称“从个人抵达起直至整个拘留期间，都会提供全面的医疗服务”。
“这是许多外国人一生中获得的最好医疗服务，”ICE在多份新闻稿中写道。
但纳希尔·帕克提亚瓦尔认为，如果他的兄弟没有被逮捕，今天本可以活着。
“我要为他的孩子、我的家人和这个社区讨个说法，”他说，“我兄弟到底发生了什么？”
ICE custody deaths are at a 2-decade high. An Afghan refugee who helped U.S. forces is one of the latest to die.

Dallas — On March 13, Afghan immigrant Naseer Paktiawal received a call from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which had just arrested his brother in North Texas. The first thing his brother told him was that he wasn’t feeling well.
“I told [the agent] my brother needs help. He’s not feeling good. He’s feeling pain in his body,” he told CBS News in Richardson, Texas. “He told me, don’t worry about it. We have a nurse. We will take care of him. And he hung up the phone on me.”
Less than 24 hours later, he was told his brother, 41-year-old Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, had died.
Paktiawal, who was evacuated from Afghanistan during the U.S. military withdrawal from the country in the summer of 2021, was the 12th person to die this year while in ICE custody. Two days later, a 19-year-old Mexican man died by presumed suicide. The 13 deaths are more than triple the number that had died by this point last year. In 2025, 31 ICE detainees died, a two-decade high, according to a CBS News analysis of ICE records.
The rising death toll comes as ICE’s detention population hit record highs amid President Trump’s aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration. As of early February, ICE was holding more than 68,000 people in detention centers across the U.S., agency figures show.
But even after accounting for the number of people in detention each year, 2025 still had the highest death rate — 5.6 people per 10,000 detainees — since 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, a CBS News analysis found.
Paktiawal had no pre-existing medical conditions, according to his family and ICE, and his sudden death is still under investigation. His family said he fought alongside the U.S. military in Afghanistan for roughly a decade.
“He was a hero,” Imrain Paktiawal, 12, one of his sons, told CBS News. “And he will be always a hero.”
Paktiawal is the first Afghan national to die in ICE custody since 2008. ICE stated Paktiawal was arrested in a targeted enforcement operation after local arrests on charges of fraud and theft. Those cases had not been adjudicated at the time of his death, according to local officials.
In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said Paktiawal entered the U.S. legally through the parole immigration policy, which allows officials to quickly admit immigrants on humanitarian grounds. But DHS said that status, which is temporary in nature, expired last August.
ICE detains people the government is seeking to deport, such as those accused of being in the U.S. illegally and other noncitizens determined to be deportable, including because of criminal offenses.
ICE detention facilities have long been criticized for providing inadequate medical care. In recent months, congressional Democrats have alleged human rights abuses, including medical neglect, in ICE detention, and demanded more oversight from the Department of Homeland Security. Multiple groups have filed lawsuits alleging inhumane conditions in ICE detention.
ICE has repeatedly denied reports of substandard conditions at its detention sites.
Some detainees who died last year complained to family members before their deaths that they were unable to obtain proper care.
Isidro Perez, who was 75 and had heart disease when he was arrested in Key Largo, Florida, last June, told his former partner he was having chest pains and wasn’t getting his medication while in detention. ICE’s report on Perez alleged a physician ordered his medication while in detention. Perez died on June 26, three weeks after he was detained.
Maksym Chernyak, a Ukrainian national who died in February 2025 of a stroke, told his wife and cellmate that he was refused immediate medical care and medication despite showing symptoms including heart palpitations and blood in his stool, according to Human Rights Watch.
ICE’s own death reports also show instances of delayed care. Brayan Rayo-Garzon, a 27 year old from Colombia who died by suicide in April 2025, had a mental health appointment that was rescheduled twice. Before he had the appointment, he was found unresponsive in his cell. Leo Cruz Silva was 34 when he died by suicide last October, two days after ICE medical staff documented he was experiencing a mental health crisis.
Rayo-Garzon and Cruz Silva are among seven detainees who died of apparent suicides since the start of 2025. Another detainee’s death was ruled a homicide: ICE agents held 55-year old Campos Lunas down until he stopped breathing. An ICE report on his death stated guards were intervening to prevent him from harming himself.
ICE has long denied allegations that it provides inadequate medical care. With each death the agency announces, it states that “Comprehensive medical care is provided from the moment individuals arrive and throughout the entirety of their stay.”
“This is the best healthcare that many aliens have received in their entire lives,” ICE wrote in multiple press releases.
But Naseer Paktiawal believes his brother would still be alive today had he not been arrested.
“I want the answer for his children, for my family, for this community,” he said. “What happened to my brother?”
