12-year-old Imrain Paktiawal told CBS News' @camiloreports he still has no explanation for how his father, Mohammad Nazeer Paktiawal, died just one day after being taken into ICE custody in Texas. The 41-year-old Afghan immigrant was detained while preparing to take his children to school and died the next day at a Dallas hospital. His family says he was healthy and that he came to the U.S. legally under the Biden administration's Operation Allies Refuge, which welcomed tens of thousands of Afghans it evacuated from Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover. ICE said Paktiawal's parole status expired on Aug. 20, 2025 and that he was detained after two arrests by local authorities on fraud and theft charges. He was not convicted. cbsn.ws/4bze1i1

Hegseth: "Another example of a fake headline that I saw yesterday -- 'War widening.' Here's a real headline for you for an actual patriotic press. How about, 'Iran shrinking.'"
Reza is a master tailor who was forced to flee Afghanistan, first as a child and again after the Taliban takeover in 2021. I'm so proud of @GlobalRefuge for believing in his talent and providing financial support to this incredible entrepreneur. 📽️ youtu.be/rkMARYfglXI
