From his wife, Melissa Chaudhry:
“ICE has stolen a beloved husband, a fiercely tender father, and a passionately patriotic American. We are all the poorer for it. My family will suffer every day he is apart from us… Zahid always stood up for the underdog. He always fought for the goodness of our communities. We who know that liberty and justice for all must mean ALL – we know Zahid as the hero we all need… ICE must release this decorated, disabled American veteran – return the heart of my family – and show the world that America still stands for justice and peace.”
✊ RSVP now & stand with Zahid's family
