“I came here to make a better life,” Naser said in the video clip. “I worked with the U.S. military. I worked in a very dangerous part of Afghanistan with the U.S. military.”
Naser worked as a translator and logistics contractor for the U.S. forces at military bases in Afghanistan, according to a press release from AfghanEvac, a nonprofit created to support the safe relocation of Afghan allies.
. . . Naser has no criminal record, has an active asylum case, and has another brother who was granted asylum weeks before Naser was detained, according to the release.
