Detroit man who lived his life in the US dies after deportation to Iraq
8 August 2019
A man who moved to the US as a child and lived his life in Detroit died on Tuesday after he was deported to Iraq, his lawyer told the BBC.
Jimmy Aldaoud, 41, had been unable to obtain insulin to treat his diabetes, immigration lawyer Edward Bajoka said.
Aldaoud had never been to Iraq and did not speak Arabic. He was deported in June as part of a crackdown on Iraqi immigrants with criminal convictions.
Mr Bajoka said his client was convicted of disorderly conduct and burglary.
The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) said Aldaoud had accrued 20 convictions over two decades including assault with a dangerous weapon, domestic violence and home invasion.

doesn't insulin require refrigeration? How much insulin did they deport him with? It's seems he was homeless in Iraq.
