"Last week, in Buffalo, Border Patrol agents scooped up a refugee named Nurul Amin Shah Alam. They quickly learned he was in the country legally and not deportable. So they released him—in the parking lot of a closed Tim Horton’s, miles from both his home and the county jail where they’d picked him up."

"Before security-camera footage confirmed that the coffee shop’s lobby was closed, DHS spent yesterday insisting agents had taken Shah Alam to a 'safe, warm location.'"

"Sham Alam’s name will be added to the growing death toll of a dishonorable Donald Trump regime, alongside Ruben Ray Martinez, Renee Nicole Good, Silverio Villegas González, Alex Pretti, Keith Porter, Geraldo Lunas Campos, and scores of others who’ve been shot, chased down, or sickened and neglected in squalid camps.

"And now, abandoned on the subfreezing February streets of the snow capital of America. Because there is really only one point to the ethnic cleansing crusade that began with rabid Trump partisans waving their “Mass Deportation Now!” placards in a Milwaukee arena and ended with a cold, lonely corpse on Perry Street.
That point is cruelty."

"Nur Al-Amin Shah Alam should have been released to his family. He should have been notified. His attorney should have notified. His family should have been notified. Instead two Border Patrol agents picked him up."

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a blind Rohingya refugee, should be at home with his family in Buffalo right now. Unfortunately, he was killed by an immigration and criminal justice system that left him to die.
"Instead, two Border Patrol agents picked him up. And what happened as a result is after taking custody of Shah Alam, they dropped him off at a Tim Hortons on Niagara Street in the Black Rock neighborhood shortly after 8 p.m. in freezing cold Buffalo. Shah Alam and his family live in Broadway Filmer neighborhood on the east side, five miles away."

"One has to ask the question, what was the purpose? What was the purpose? Why is this man in Customs and Border Protection's custody? Why? And it makes no legal sense and it makes no practical sense. And at that point… Why in the world are you dropping him ff at a Tim Hortons rather than dropping him off? Like, what is the motivation here, right?"

"It's freezing cold. Clear this man is blind. We've seen a photo of him. Why not just drive an extra five miles? Why not? Or why not call his family? Right. I mean, like one has to make these are not conspiratorial leaps. Right. Like one has to just make practical assumptions that there is absolutely something malicious at play here."

"You put you put this individual in circumstances of such exquisite vulnerability. Right. I mean, like the outcome was inevitable and the outcome was set into motion."

"As for the claim that Border Patrol had taken Shah Alam to a nice warm place, surveillance video released Thursday night showed that he had been left outside a Tim Horton’s that was closed, at night, as temperatures were dropping. For shoes, all he had were the thin orange booties from the jail."

Investigative Post offers video footage from the closed Tim Hortons at which CBP dropped Shah Alam off, claiming later — a lie — that they left him at a warm, safe place to which he had asked to be taken.

"On Tuesday evening, Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind, seriously ill Rohingya refugee from Burma who does not speak English, was found dead in Buffalo—five days after Border Patrol dropped him off on a street corner without notifying his family, who had moved away from the area. He was 56.
When historians reflect on this regime, cruelty will be the word most often used to define it."

"The Trump years will be remembered for its cruelty and cover-ups. The level of sadism and brutality by the White House and its GOP enablers is both shocking and intentional, even as efforts to cover up or distract from crimes remain painfully obvious."

"It’s all out in the open, leading to a hard truth: If cruelty is the point, and the cover-ups are so brazen, what result are they really driving toward? ...
Video evidence that emerged yesterday demonstrated that the Border Patrol actually killed Alam by leaving him outside to die."

"It shows him being dropped off outside a locked Tim Hortons, five miles from his home in Buffalo, New York, at night in the dead of winter. Agents made no phone call to his family or his lawyers to let them know Alam was being released and left there.
He was found dead on Tuesday. ...
The cruelty of ICE and Border Patrol agents may be the point, but it comes from the very top by design."

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
Donald Trump and Stephen Miller’s campaign to rid America of immigrants claimed yet another life last week, although this time it took a little time for the body to be found.
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, had been in jail in Buffalo, New York, for just over a year after city cops tased and beat him February 15, 2025, for the crimes of being nearly blind, lost, confused, and unable to understand whatever the cops were yelling at him.
