US-Grenzschutzbeamte sollen einen nahezu blinden Migranten nach seiner Haft bei Eiseskälte im Bundesstaat New York ausgesetzt haben. Wenige Tage später wurde der Mann tot aufgefunden. Der Fall wird nun untersucht.

Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees struggling to survive in Bangladesh’s overcrowded camps will see their food assistance slashed. The change takes effect on Wednesday and is raising alarm throughout the increasingly desperate community. The 1.2 million Rohingya trapped in the camps currently receive $12 a month per person. The persecuted minority from Myanmar has long warned that amount is not enough. Under the World Food Program’s new tiered system, the amount each person receives will vary based on the severity of their family’s needs, with around 17% of the population getting as little as $7 per month. The WFP says that plan will ensure that all recipients will receive 2,100 calories a day, the recommended minimum standard for emergency food aid.
"Border Patrol agents left a partially blind refugee who spoke little English in the parking lot of a Buffalo coffee shop the night of Feb. 19 shortly before the man disappeared, according to security camera footage reviewed by The Washington Post. He was found dead five days later.
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, was found dead Tuesday evening near an arena in downtown Buffalo, about five miles from where the federal agents had dropped him off after they picked him up from the county jail.
Relatives had spent days searching for Shah Alam, whom they described as in poor health. The circumstances surrounding the Rohingya refugee’s death prompted an outcry from Democratic officials, who called for further investigation.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents “released a blind father from custody and left him to find his way home alone,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said Thursday. “He never made it. New Yorkers deserve answers and accountability.”
Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan said Wednesday that Shah Alam’s death was “preventable” and “deeply disturbing.” The decision by CBP personnel to leave Shah Alam alone was “a dereliction of duty,” Ryan said."
