"Shah Alam was 'a blind man who could not speak English and left outside a closed Tim Hortons coffee shop completely defenseless against the bitter cold February night by Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security,' New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said. 'Every individual involved in the death of Mr. Shah Alam must be held fully accountable.'"
"The Erie County Medical Examiner's Office stated that the manner of Shah Alam's death was homicide, meaning it resulted from the act of another person, which can include negligence."
"A spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection claimed Shah Alam's death 'had NOTHING to do with Border Patrol,' asserting that he died 'almost A WEEK AFTER' being dropped off."
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56-year-old visually impaired Rohingya refugee, was abandoned by Border Patrol and found dead five days later. Security footage showed him exiting a van near a locked Tim Hortons. The Erie County Medical Examiner's Office ruled his death a homicide, caused by complications from a perforated intestinal ulcer due to hypothermia and dehydration. This incident has led to calls for accountability and further investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, which has sparked outrage in Buffalo.
