"For the first time since we arrived in America, I felt happy, said Fatima Abdul Roshid, Shah Alam's wife, speaking through an interpreter. I thought my husband would be with our two sons and me for Ramadan."
"Amin said, his voice trembling. It broke our home. A day before his scheduled release, the family visited Shah Alam at the center and began preparing for his return."
"The Erie county medical examiner's office ruled Shah Alam's death a homicide. A cause of death, renewed pain. More than a month after his death, the medical examiner's office said Shah Alam died from complications of a perforated duodenal ulcer precipitated by hypothermia."
Mohamad Faisal Nurul Amin's family awaited the return of his father, Nurul Shah Alam, after his detention. Shah Alam, who had lost much of his sight, was released without proper clothing in freezing temperatures. His family had prepared for his return, but he was found dead days later. The Erie county medical examiner ruled his death a homicide, attributing it to complications from a perforated duodenal ulcer and hypothermia. This incident underscores the dangers faced by vulnerable populations like the Rohingya in the U.S.
