Afghan US army interpreter detained by ICE is accused of being a national security risk. His lawyer said ICE hasn't disclosed why.
'That circumvents all due process, all hearings, all opportunity to say 'Hey, this is a mistake,'' Keating said. Advertisement Zia's detainment is the latest case of an immigrant who was in the country legally being detained by ICE. In March, immigration agents surrounded Tufts PhD student Peterson filed a petition in the US District Court of Massachusetts to nullify the expedited removal order, as well as filed a claim for asylum on behalf of Zia. A judge ordered DHS on July 18 to notify the court at least 72 hours before Zia is transferred to a different facility or deported. Advertisement Peterson said the decision gives them 'breathing room' to work on his case. 'Although the government hasn't in all cases followed judicial orders in recent months, this is a much better and more secure position to be in than we were right after my client was apprehended,' she said. Zia worked as an interpreter for US troops from 2006 to 2007, according to court filings and a copy of his special immigrant visa application. He fled across the border into Pakistan when the Taliban In a letter of recommendation for Zia's visa application, a sergeant who directly supervised him said Zia was instrumental to the success of the unit's mission and 'presents no danger' to the US. 'I would invite him into my own home with my children and not be worried anything would happen,' the sergeant wrote. 'I trust in him completely.' Zia was on track for permanent residency when he was detained by ICE for unclear reasons. 'Everything is completely legal,' Peterson said. Keating considers the army interpreter's arrest an attempt by the federal government to 'This is about the Trump administration and ICE finding one more way to push the numbers to 3,000 [arrests] a day,' the congressman said. A senior Department of Homeland Security official said in an email to the Globe that Zia was 'paroled by the Biden administration.' Advertisement 'He is currently under investigation for a serious criminal allegation,' the official wrote. 'All of his claims will be heard by a judge. Any Afghan who fears persecution is able to request relief.' An attorney for ICE officials wrote in a response to Zia's petition that ICE terminated his parole after the FBI indicated he is 'a risk to the national security of the United States' and lacks 'valid entry documents.' But his attorney said she has received no formal communication from the Department of Homeland Security about an investigation. 'It was only after media reached out to ICE or to DHS that we heard anything about that at all,' Peterson said. 'As his attorney, I don't believe there's anything to this.' She noted that other Afghan clients of hers have been called for formal interviews with the Federal Bureau of Investigation or received knocks on their doors from agents, who ask them a few questions before leaving. Zia received no such request, she said. Peterson is now crossing her fingers for an interview with an immigration officer, where Zia can prove he has reason to fear persecution if he is deported. Shawn VanDiver, the founder and president of AfghanEvac, an advocacy organization for Afghans contracted by the US military, said Zia is one of his 'priority cases' among 'well over 100″ instances of Afghans arrested by ICE. 'He is yet another person who followed all of the rules,' said VanDiver, who served in Iraq in the US Navy. He added that he wants to show Afghan allies that veterans have their backs. He has signed up more than 110 people who will be trained in the next week on how to support Afghan immigrants at their court appointments, including wearing veteran gear to sit in the courtrooms. To VanDiver, it's the least Americans can do. Advertisement 'We told them they can be Americans,' he said. 'We're making it very hard for them.' Jade Lozada can be reached at

WATCH: Trump says he is hopeful Hillary Clinton will be investigated for election fraud
Speaking with reporters on Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump expressed that he is hopeful former presidential opponent Hillary Clinton will finally be investigated for election fraud. Shortly before departing for New Jersey, Trump was asked by a reporter, "Will Hillary Clinton finally be investigated for election fraud?" Trump answered, "I hope so, I hope so. I don't know whether or not that'll happen, but I hope so." During his brief exchange with reporters outside the White House, Trump also repeatedly criticized Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, whom he recently removed. The president connected his recent decision to fire McEntarfer, whom he accused of falsifying jobs report numbers, to efforts to sway previous elections against him. "You have to have honest reports and when you look at those numbers or when you look at just before the election and then after the election, they corrected it by 8 or 900,000 jobs," he said. "Why should anybody trust numbers? You go back to election day. Look what happened 2 or 3 days before with massive, wonderful jobs numbers, trying to get him elected or her elected, trying to get whoever the hell was running because you go back and they came out with numbers that were very favorable to Kamala," he went on. "And then on the 15th of November or thereabouts, they added 8 or 900,000 overstatement reduction right after the election." Addressing a reporter directly, Trump added, "It didn't work because, you know who won, John? I won." Trump's comments regarding Clinton hearken back all the way to his first presidential campaign during which he warned that if he were president he would get his attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her behavior. In one of the 2016 debates Trump famously quipped to Clinton that if he was president: "you'd be in jail." As president, however, Trump has not moved to prosecute Clinton, who served as former President Barack Obama's secretary of state from 2009 to 2013. This July, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released evidence that she said suggest the Obama administration promoted a "contrived narrative" that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. "There is irrefutable evidence that details how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an intelligence community assessment that they knew was false," Gabbard said. "They knew it would promote this contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, selling it to the American people as though it were true. It wasn't." "We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI, to investigate the criminal implications of this for the evidence," Gabbard said. "The evidence that we have found, and that we have released, directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact." In a July interview, Trump described the Russiagate allegations against Obama and members of his administration as "serious treason." "What they've done is so bad for this country. And it really started right at the 2016 election," Trump claimed of Gabbard's findings. "And there's a difference when you know it — and when you know it, and it's all written down for you. I mean, it's all there. It's right there. The orders, the memos, the whole thing. It's right there."
