Dallas — The family of an Afghan immigrant who died one day after being taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Texas says it has received no answers as to what caused the man's death.
Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, 41, was detained by ICE on March 13 while getting ready to take his children to school. He died the following day in a Dallas hospital.
"I just want answers for my dad," 12-year-old Imrain Paktiawal, Paktiawal's son, told CBS News in Richardson, Texas. "That's it. I want to know why he died. He was healthy."
The father of six is the 12th person to die in ICE custody so far this year. Thirty-one ICE detainees died last year, a two-decade high, according to a CBS News analysis of agency reports and notices.
Naseer Paktiawal told CBS News he received his brother's body on Tuesday.
"I received a call from my sister-in-law," Naseer said of the morning his brother was taken into ICE custody. "She say that, 'Some people show up from nowhere, and they just took your brother.'"
Naseer said the family received no explanation as to why Paktiawal was detained.
"Nothing, they just put him in their car and drove away," Naseer said. "His kids were screaming, asking for help, asking question, 'Who are you guys? Why are you guys arresting my father, my dad?' No one answered those children."
