"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a [Buffalo, NY] doughnut shop Thursday & left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead.

City Hall spokesperson Ian Ott said Shah Alam, 56, was found by B District officers after they responded to a call for a dead body on the first block of Perry Street shortly after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday."

"A spokesperson for Border Patrol, in a statement Wednesday evening, said after agents determined Shah Alam was not supposed to be in their custody, they 'offered him a courtesy ride, which he chose to accept to a coffee shop.' That Tim Hortons, the spokesperson said, was 'determined to be a warm, safe location near his last known address, rather than be released directly from the Border Patrol station.'”

"Agents, however, did not notify [the lawyer] Macaluso or Shah Alam’s family of his release to the coffee shop. Macaluso previously told Investigative Post he expected Shah Alam to be taken to the ICE detention center in Batavia and that his client would be released from there.

Instead, Macaluso and Shah Alam’s family spent Friday through Sunday searching for him. Macaluso opened a missing persons case with Buffalo police on Sunday, he said."

"Here’s a horrible story about our horrific Nazis & what they do to innocent humans. Yeah, just another one of those! 'Blind Dad of 2 Is Found Dead After Being Released by Border Patrol and Left to Find His Way Home 5 Miles Away' is the headline. But we want you to note what publication it’s in. Because when it’s in People magazine, that means it’s breaking through all the way."

"Buffalo Mayor Sean M. Ryan described Shah Alam's death as both 'preventable' and 'deeply disturbing' in a statement shared to social media on Feb. 25.

'A vulnerable man — nearly blind and unable to speak English — was left alone on a cold winter night with no known attempt to leave him in a safe, secure location,' Ryan said."

"There are two reasons why Trump’s Department of Homeland (DHS) agents—be they ICE or Customs Border Patrol (CBP)—so easily kill people. First, they have been told by Donald Trump, JD Vance, Stephen Miller and others in the Trump regime that they are immune from criminal prosecution."

"And second, Trump, Vance, Miller and others have dehumanized immigrants—and even US citizens who oppose them—to the dangerous point that they don’t view them as human beings. …

Please understand that the system is working exactly as Trump and the GOP planned it."

"As the American Immigration Council, or AIC, reported earlier this month, there were six deaths in ICE detention centers across the country in January. This includes the death of 55-year-old Geraldo Lunas Campos, which was ruled a homicide after a medical examiner concluded he’d died of 'asphyxia due to neck and torso compression.'"

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a blind Rohingya refugee from Burma who spoke no English, was picked up by U.S. immigration officials last week. After determining there was no basis to deport him, agents released him five miles from his home without notifying his family. He required a walking stick to navigate unfamiliar surroundings. He died attempting to make his way back."

@wdlindsy they do the same with homeless. Well, more so this so called society that we live in.
The hatefullness of society, the darkest and most vile parts, are in the light. This is a result of post WWI and post WWII rhetoric passed down from generation to generation.
You can see the hatefullness of those generations in shows like MASH, words being said then, are being said now. This administration is a result of the foul stench lingering from the past.
