One Trump voter issued a tear-filled video regretting his decision to vote for the president after his brother, who served with U.S. special forces, died while in Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In a video posted to social media, Naseer Paktyawal tearfully recalled his brother’s service to the country and the moment that ICE “kidnapped” him in front of his son, Imrin. ABC News initially posted the video.
…
“I saw two cars unmarked. Seven, eight people jump out of those cars,” Paktyawal said. “One on the driver’s side, one on the back of his car, and grabbed him from his seat and put a handcuff on him.”
Mohammad Nazeer Paktyawal’s son, Imrin, was also featured in the video and recalled witnessing his father’s arrest. “I was standing there, and then they came and just take him,” the boy said.
Imrin added that he was “standing there” as the agents hauled his father away. “I was like, just don’t take him, please,” Imrin recalled.
According to Paktyawal, he later received a call from an ICE facility. “I thought they were going to release him back,” Imrin said.
“He said, ‘Are you, Naseer?’ That’s me,” Paktyawal said. “Your brother Mohamed Nasir Paktyawal passed away this morning and his body is laying down in a parking lot in the hospital.”
…
“My first vote was for this president, and I regret it, and I’m gonna regret it for the rest of my life,” he added. “Because of me, because of my voting, He got arrested, and he lost his life. And I’m never going to forgive myself for that.”
CNN reported that he was taken by ICE agents outside of his Dallas apartment and died less than a day after being in ICE custody. His family said that Mohammad had no known health conditions and had been seeking asylum in the U.S. since his arrival in 2021.
To be fair, he just couldn’t vote for Harris.
“He said, ‘Are you, Naseer?’ That’s me,” Paktyawal said. “Your brother Mohamed Nasir Paktyawal passed away this morning and his body is laying down in a parking lot in the hospital.”
If this wasn’t his brother, but just some random “illegal”, he wouldn’t have given two shits about another human being laying dead in a parking lot. He voted for other people he’s never heard of to be killed and dumped in a parking lot. But because it’s his brother now he regrets his vote.
Fuck this shit stain and fuck everyone like him.
Oh no! Anyway…
I don’t care in the slightest. You voted for this shit. Have the life you voted for, asswipes.
I think most of the reactions here are sad. Yes, he voted for Trump, but he just lost a brother, man. It’s the same thing with Brexit over here in Europe and the far-right parties gaining more and more ground: people who don’t know any better and want easy solutions to the big problems we are facing get manipulated by scum looking to make themselves rich. Don’t be mad at him for being manipulated. Be mad at the pests manipulating them.
Nah, they literally voted for this to happen.
It’d be like someone running on a platform to kill gay people. They get elected and start killing gay people. The guy who voted for the person to kill gay people has a brother who is gay. That brother is killed. He never thought they would kill HIS brother!
The Trump Administration is doing exactly what they said they would do. They campaigned on this for years. And people with immigrant family members voted for it anyway.
So with my whole chest, fuck this asshole and fuck him for voting for it. I hope he feels at fault for what happened for the rest of his life. I hope he has future days he voted for, because he voted for the day his brother was killed.
Fuck that. Fuck forgiveness. Fuck this and every fucking Nazi dick sucking Trump voter. What fascism is only a problem when it’s on his front door? What about Renee Good, Keith Porter, Glen Burnie, Carlos Jimenez, who were shot and/or killed by ICE? Those deaths didn’t convince him what is happening is wrong, it had to be a close loved one for him to smarten up.
I disagree to a point. It is absolutely reasonable to be frustrated with someone gullible enough to believe “fix grocery prices on day one.” These voters were either stupid or purposely ignorant, and I’m willing to bet most of them are both.
Nobody in their right mind believes that one person can wave a magic wand and fix everything in one day. I do think these people get what they voted for and unfortunately for this guy it’s a dead brother in ICE custody. Tragic state of affairs but not unforeseeable with Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and Elon’s full Nazi salute on stage. These people knew exactly what they were voting for and it’s only sad because it affects them now.
These people knew exactly what they were voting for and it’s only sad because it affects them now.
doubt that, they are likely too stupid for that. It’s sad because they couldn’t see that, and a very lot of maggats as well.
You already tell that yourself:
Nobody in their right mind believes that one person can wave a magic wand and fix everything in one day.
Because they’re not in their right mind. Mental health is really on the decline there.
Yes! I knew someone would take the bait. There is no way for the entirety of the Republican party can say that “they weren’t in their right mind” it’s not statistically possible. This is the same party that is pointing at the left with the silly TDS accusations. This isn’t a trial where Trump voters get to plea insanity at the end and get off the hook. They were in their right mind, they knew what they were voting for, and they explicitly did it anyways.
People loooove to give them the benefit of the doubt and say Trump voters are this confused, taken-advantage-of populace. These are the same people wearing “Lion not Sheep” merch. So which is it, are they the strong lion, or are they the confused baby sheep?
Well well well, if it isn’t the day you voted for.
You aren’t wrong, but smugness isnt helpful.
Neither is voting for trump so I think the universe is even now.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Payback isnt going to right this ship.
I didn’t do anything to get a payback. They did it unto themselves and I’m just watching.
I don’t know, made me feel pretty good.
Well, man up, you voted for this!
Part of me feels really bad about this and another part of me is thinking womp womp.
When a lying cheating criminal, convicted of dozens of felonies, tells you he is gonna do bad stuff if he gets reelected, and you vote for him, the bad stuff he does is on you too. And you get to live with it.
The real victims are the ones who recognized the evil voted against it and had it forced on them anyway.
My first vote was for this president, and I regret it, and I’m gonna regret it for the rest of my life," he added. "Because of me, because of my voting, He got arrested, and he lost his life. And I’m never going to forgive myself for that.
There are many people who have lost loved ones exactly the way you did, who will suffer for the rest of their lives, and they’re going to regret it for the rest of their lives, because of you, because of your voting, they got arrested and lost their lives.
I will never forgive you for that.
Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers you wretched fuck.
I want to know how this fucker is going vote in the midterms. But I feel no empathy or sympathy for this man. Cry all you want asshole. Only person in this situation I feel for is that kid who had no say.
33% of this country thinks everything is going great and so would this asshole if his brother was still alive. I’ll feel a shred of sympathy for the first one I ever see say “I want to apologize to everyone whose lives were affected by my vote, I didn’t care about what happened to you, only me. I won’t make that mistake again.” I’m still waiting and I’ll be waiting forever because these sociopaths have not the slightest trace of empathy.
“Your brother Mohamed Nasir Paktyawal passed away this morning and his body is laying down in a parking lot in the hospital.”
Wtf
died less than a day after being in ICE custody. His family said that Mohammad had no known health conditions and had been seeking asylum in the U.S. since his arrival in 2021.
Wtf?!
Sounds like they abducted him and murdered him and then dumped his body and they’re not even trying to hide it.
By their Persian-sounding names, I’m assuming they’re Afghani. It seems like this is one of the families the US brought out to protect them from the Taliban. People who worked with the US forces while they were there.
But his name was Mohamed. So clearly that’s why ICE did this to him.
At least his brother has more self-awareness than most maga idiots whose family members get taken away or killed. This is the first time I remember reading anyone who voted for trump saying “I’ll regret my vote for the rest of my life.”
You are correct, he served along side Americans starting in 2005 and was legally relocated here. He was legal to be in the country until 2029, but ICE officials refused to look at his documentation.
The ice.gov site also slanders his name calling him a felon, but when NPR ran his background check it came up clean.
Father of 6, healthy 41 yo male with no PMH. Suddenly dies of what sounds like a poisoning shortly after being in ICE custody.
Welcome to America, where the rules are made up and your death doesn’t matter.
Exactly, wtf. How did this guy die?
I’m guessing the Meal Team 6 highschool dropouts didn’t like having an actual service member in their midst, and executed him.
I think it’s likely the guy got mouthy, his brother is in the armed forces, actually believing these Chuds give a shit about veterans, they don’t and never have. It’s cynical posturing on their part and while we know they’ve fucked EVERY group of vets to the best of their ability, despite maybe the WWII ones, (only because WWII vets were too numerous and powerful after the new deal and war.)
So the Ice or whomever beat him to death or whatever. Same shit. Never get mouthy with cops, sadly it never works out well, at best you walk away as you would if you kept your mouth shut. There are ways of fighting an unjust system, mouthing off to security services with near complete control over your life and death with little consequence to themselves, is not one of them.
Exterminated by the mobile extermination team and dumped on the street.
…why is there a parking lot inside a hospital?
still has private hospitals. The “in a parking lot in the hospital” means “The [private] hospital’s parking lot.”
I’m just blown away that anyone that’s not a lily white hillbilly could think voting for the lily white hill billy party was a good idea. I’m all out of fucks to give.
Honestly the lily white hillbillies should have seen it coming too. Biden tried to help them and they voted for the guy who took all that funding away.
Fuck, even the lily white people are getting attacked. Germans and British people are getting deported, and American born white men are getting mistakenly targeted as immigrants. Nevermind the fact that their trigger discipline is nonexistent and they’re happy to shoot anyone who breathes in their direction.
I truly wish I could figure out how to explain this to MAGA supporters, but I don’t need to be more depressed today.
Explaining would require the other side to be smart enough to understand. And we all know this isn’t possible.
I truly wish I could figure out how to explain this to MAGA supporters
You can’t explain it to them. There is only one thing those brain-deads without the capacity for basic empathy can understand: their own personal suffering.
So when you can’t believably tell them, that they surely will be targeted (and you can’t because their critical thinking skills are non-existent and their favorite talking-heads are telling them otherewise), there is just no point in trying.
It’s kinda even worse than that, it’s very close to just being a cult, they will give up almost all their values because the things they’ve blocked out that they’d have to face (everything really IS that bad, climate change is real, the immigrants I’m targeting are humans like me) is just too high a cost.
He thought that Trump was going to hurt the correct people, like other brown people.
MAGA are cowards in every sense of the word. I hope this particular one feels guilt over causing his brother’s death. His bigotry resulted in his brother being killed by his savior’s gestapo.
He won’t. He will vote for the populist asshole that gives him good feelies at the moment
People almost never change, but when they do it’s only after they hit absolute rock bottom and decide they’re choosing to act differently no matter the pain they have to go through as they change. Being sure you killed your brother that you loved with all your heart with your reckless behavior is a rock bottom, so if anyone is capable of changing it will be this guy. That doesn’t guarantee he will, but I wouldn’t place any bets against him because that’s not easy money.
