I can’t stop thinking about Nurul Shah Alam, the disabled refugee who died after Border Patrol left him outside in the cold with no way to contact friends or family.

It took five days for him to die.

He was blind and didn’t speak English.

They took the pole he was using as a cane.

This man survived an actual genocide only to be killed by the incompetence and cruelty of the Trump regime.

Five days of wandering around lost, sick and disoriented.

It was all preventable.

They could have taken him home.

They could have called his family.

They could have refused to leave him for dead.

Say his name. Don’t ever forget what they did.

@broadwaybabyto that’s not incompetence, that’s a deliberate choice with very predictable outcomes.

If it wasn't a tragedy - dropping an older blind refugee who speaks a language other than english in the middle of a New York winter night in front of a locked restaurant, and not contacting his family would seem like a farce: too stupid or careless to be believed.

"incompetence"

The "actual" in OP is doing some heavy lifting... that feels very oppression Olympics.

Show threadBroadwaybabytoFeb 28

@RosethornRanger I should clarify that part was mostly in regards to him being arrested by local police and then “given” to border patrol who all assumed his “crime” could make him deportable. When they realized they couldn’t deport him they dumped him.

I hope that made sense. Sorry, so low on spoons.

The murder of Nurul Amin Shah Alam fits a pattern of murderous police violence against innocent often indigenous people. The cruelty is the point. Nurul Amin Shah Alam deserved to be alive with us today

Why did they leave him at a closed Tim Hortons in freezing temperatures? Demand answers and justice for Shah Alam. #JusticeForShahAlam #EndImmigrationAbuse
