Afghan man is finally set free

 Z.Q. spent 5-years as a direct employee of U.S. special forces in Afghanistan, followed by 10-years in full-time counter-terrorism work for the now lost Republic. 

Z.Q. came expecting help for his family. He did not expect a handout, but to be welcomed as a friend and comrade. He got nearly a year in ICE detention instead. 

A CIJF-funded attorney won Z.Q.'s case - but ICE wouldn't let him go. It took another 5-months of work and the 10th Circuit Court of appeals to secure his freedom and future. 

We deeply admire Z.Q.’s service and tenacity and are grateful for the generosity of our donors who funded his case!

With hope and gratitude,
Greg Mortimer on behalf of the Colorado Immigrant Justice Fund team
