"Nurul Amin Shah Alam had been missing since Thursday, after being released from the Erie County Holding Center that afternoon. Alam's attorney, Benjamin Macaluso, told the Investigative Post that he had expected his client to be taken to an ICE detention center before his release.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a refugee from Myanmar who was mostly blind and unable to speak English, went missing after being released from the Erie County Holding Center. Border Patrol agents allegedly dropped him at a Tim Hortons approximately five miles from his residence without informing his attorney or family. Alam had multiple health conditions, was unable to use a phone, and could not communicate in English. His body was discovered five days later. Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan issued a statement condemning the release as unprofessional and inhumane, characterizing it as a dereliction of duty by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death and release from custody.
