Afghan Interpreter Detained by ICE; Lawmakers Demand Release | JQJO

Lawmakers are demanding the release of Zia, an Afghan interpreter who aided US troops, after his arrest by ICE agents during a green card appointment. Zia, who entered the US legally, was detained despite having no criminal record. While Homeland Security cites a "serious criminal allegation," lawmakers call the arrest a betrayal and violation of trust, highlighting the potential death sentence Zia faces if deported back to Afghanistan. A judge temporarily stayed his removal, but he remains in detention.
