An Afghan national who worked as a translator for the U.S. military was seized by armed and masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and bundled out of his adopted home state.
The interpreter, identified only as Zia, was detained by immigration agents during a routine appointment related to obtaining a green card in East Hartford, Connecticut. He was then taken to an immigration detention center in Massachusetts,CT Insider reported.
Zia, who was living in the U.S. legally, is now under threat of deportation back to Afghanistan, a country he fled because he feared he would be tortured or killed by the ruling Taliban.
