Medical Examiner Rules That a Rohingya Refugee’s Death Was a Homicide

An autopsy showed that the man suffered dehydration and hypothermia after Border Patrol agents dropped him off on a cold night in Buffalo. Gov. Kathy Hochul condemned their actions as cruel and inhumane.

The New York Times

The medical examiner in #Buffalo, #NY has ruled that the death of a nearly #blind man left alone by #BorderPatrol agents on a frigid night was a #homicide, a finding that could [better] lead to #criminal charges.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a #Rohingya #refugee from #Myanmar, died in February after the agents dropped him off outside a closed Tim Hortons doughnut shop. His death triggered outrage in Buffalo & around the nation.

…US Customs & Border Protection officials said that their agency was not culpable.

“Another hoax being peddled by the media & sanctuary politicians to demonize our law enforcement,” the officials said in an insane statement. “This death had NOTHING to do with Border Patrol. Mr. Shah Alam passed almost A WEEK AFTER he was released by Border Patrol.”

"it took over a week for the person to die from the gunshot wound, so you can't say we killed them."
