ICE officials in Washington, D.C., deported a former high-ranking Somalian military officer who carried out torture, terror and other serious human rights abuses on civilians.
As a high-ranking officer in the Somali National Army, Ali allegedly oversaw terror activities against the Isaaq clan in northwestern Somalia. He is believed to have carried out an array of human rights abuses, including extrajudicial killings, torture and arbitrary detention. Peter Pinedo is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
According to a Dec. 23 statement by ICE, the Somali National Army committed numerous human rights violations against civilians in those years, including the execution of suspected political opponents, the burning of entire towns, the unlawful use of landmines and the destruction of water reservoirs to target civilian populations.
