MORE: Aldaoud died earlier this month from health problems in Baghdad, where he was sent in June—but where he knew no one, did not speak the language, and didn't have access to proper care for his diabetes or schizophrenia.
The body of a 41-year old man who was deported to Iraq and died was returned to the U.S. on Friday, according to his family and a local congressman.
"Jimmy was a sweet person with a good heart. He loved our mom, and we are comforted knowing that he will be laid to rest next to her," his sisters said in a statement Thursday."We hope Jimmy's story opens people's eyes and hearts to understanding that we should not be deporting people to their death overseas."There are conflicting reports about where Aldaoud was born.
This video is of Jimmy taken in Baghdad two weeks after his deportation. I’m sharing with permission from Jimmy’s lawyers. Jimmy has been in the US since he was 6mo old—he was born in a refugee camp in Greece to Iraqi Christian parents. RIP#JimmyAldaoud https://t.co/1182x6GRAY pic.twitter.com/KF8RUOtKiH
"Jimmy's death has devastated his family and us. We knew he would not survive if deported. What we don't know is how many more people ICE will send to their deaths," Miriam Aukerman, senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union's Michigan branch, told ABC News in a statement earlier this month.
