Afghan interpreter who served US military 'disappointed' to face deportation amid migrant surge at border

Afghanistan interpreter Zalmay Niazy who lives in Iowa and currently faces deportation due to an interaction he had with the Taliban as a child, said on Tuesday that being forced to leave the United States would be a death sentence.

"This was my asylum interview in America. And I said, 'I can’t hide that, I can’t lie about it, and yes, I did,'" Niazy told "America's Newsroom" co-host Dana Perino. Niazy explained the interaction he had with the Taliban as a child.  "They were very brutal people, and they even wanted to harm us and our family," he said.
