Detained Afghan's Legal Entry Into U.S. Was 'Improvident,' Government Argues

  • Sayed Naser, an Afghan interpreter who legally entered the U.S. via the San Ysidro port using the CBP One app in July 2024, was arrested by ICE agents at a San Diego courthouse on June 12, 2025.
  • His arrest came after federal prosecutors sought to end his asylum proceedings by arguing that the notice to appear had been issued in error, a claim his lawyer strongly disputed.
  • Following the Taliban's killing of his brother at a family wedding in 2023, Naser escaped Afghanistan and is currently detained at Otay Mesa Detention Center while awaiting decisions on his asylum and Special Immigrant Visa applications.
  • Attorney Brian McGoldrick dismissed claims that the notice to appear was sent in error, calling such suggestions absurd, and highlighted Naser's verified service with the U.S. military.
  • Naser remains in custody awaiting further hearings, with advocacy groups decrying his detention as part of broader policies making protection harder for U.S. allies.
