  • ICE officials in Washington, D.C., deported a former high-ranking Somalian military officer who allegedly carried out torture, terror and other human rights abuses on civilians.

The article from MSN discusses the deportation of a former high-ranking Somalian military official, Abdiwali Hassan, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Hassan, who had been living in the U.S. since 1993, was accused of committing acts of torture and terror during his time in Somalia's military. He was arrested in 2019 following an investigation by ICE's Human Rights Violators and War Crimes Center. Despite his claims of seeking asylum due to threats from Al-Shabaab, a terrorist group, his asylum was denied, and he was ordered removed from the U.S. in 2021. Hassan was deported back to Somalia, where he faces potential threats to his life. This case highlights ICE's efforts to enforce immigration laws against individuals accused of human rights abuses, even as it raises questions about the safety and rights of deportees in their home countries.
