The family of Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal is demanding answers after his death in ICE custody in Dallas was ruled accidental, according to CBS Texas. Paktiawal was a 41-year-old Afghan father and former U.S. military ally. CBS reported that he died in March, less than 24 hours after being detained. A death certificate provided by his family states that he suffered an allergic reaction to an unidentified substance, which caused anaphylaxis and triggered his asthma. CBS reported that the death certificate also lists toxic effects of methamphetamine, heart disease, and cigarette smoking as contributing factors. Paktiawal’s family disputes parts of those findings and is calling for the release of the autopsy report. According to CBS, Dallas County is withholding the autopsy report at ICE’s request because officials say releasing it could interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation. ICE previously stated that Paktiawal was hospitalized after experiencing shortness of breath and chest pain in a holding room and later died at Parkland Hospital. This is a heartbreaking loss for Paktiawal’s family, including his children. A death in government custody must be investigated with compassion and care, but also with transparency and urgency. Families deserve answers about what happened, what symptoms were reported, what medical care was provided, what substances or allergens may have been involved, and whether the death could have been prevented. Critical evidence may include detention records, intake screening forms, medical records, medication records, allergy history, surveillance video, body camera footage, incident reports, EMS records, hospital records, autopsy findings, toxicology results, staff communications, and witness statements from inside the detention facility. If your loved one died in ICE custody, jail custody, detention facility custody, or after being denied proper medical care in Texas, you may have the right to seek justice and pursue compensation for funeral expenses, medical expenses, mental anguish, loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and other damages.

A Kaufman County sheriff’s deputy and a Forney police officer narrowly avoided serious injury when a passing vehicle slammed into a stopped patrol car early Sunday morning, according to NBC DFW. The crash happened around 3:17 a.m. on July 5, 2026, while the officer and deputy were working a roadside call. Body-camera video reportedly showed the officer and deputy standing on the side of the road with two motorists moments before a car crashed into the stopped Forney police vehicle. Debris flew from the impact and missed the group by only a few feet. County officials said the crash is a reminder for drivers to move over or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles.
