Colorado congressmen call on ICE to release Afghan immigrant who helped fight the Taliban

Colorado Democrats are calling on federal immigration authorities to release an Afghan immigrant who helped U.S. troops fight the Taliban before moving to Boulder County, calling his treatment “cruel and inhumane.” 

Mohammad Ali Dadfar, who worked in the Afghan Army for 14 years and provided security for U.S. soldiers, was detained during an ICE sting in Indiana as he drove through the Midwest while working as a long-haul truck driver. He has been in a Missouri detention center for nearly a month.
