The US Border Patrol abandoned a man from SE Asia in the middle of a blizzard. He was blind. He was not near his home. They called nobody and told nobody.

If I discharged a blind person into a blizzard from my ER, I’d lose my license, my house, and my job.

Fuck these nazi goons.

@mcnado Whaaat? Link please... that's horrible!

Nurul Amin Shah Alam was a Rohingya refugee from Burma. He had been granted refugee status by the US government. Blind and speaking no English, in February 2025 he accidentally wandered into a neighbor's yard. She called the police, who tasered him, beat him up, and arrested him. After being held in jail for over a year, he was finally released on bail after agreeing to plead guilty to trespassing and possessing a weapon (a curtain rod he used as a walking stick). 1/2
