An Iraqi national who had lived in the US since he was an infant died shortly after being deported to Iraq as part of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. Jimmy Aldaoud, 41, died from complications of diabetes, his attorney says.
Jimmy Aldaoud, 41, died from complications of diabetes, his attorney Edward Bajoka told CNN. Aldaoud, who had a long criminal record, was deported in early June to Iraq, where he had no family or contacts and did not speak the language. His body was found Tuesday at an apartment he shared with another Iraqi American deportee. "He was not able to get insulin in Iraq. That was essentially the cause of his death," Bajoka said."This death was completely preventable.
— Mari Manoogian August 8, 2019 Aldaoud had an extensive criminal history"that involved no less than 20 convictions between 1998-2017," a Detroit ICE official told CNN, including assault with a dangerous weapon, domestic violence, contempt of court, failure to appear, breaking and entering, malicious destruction of a building, home invasion and possession of marijuana.
