Showing Original Post only (View all)More on the blind refugee in Buffalo that Border Control agents killed. [View all]
Buffalo NPR and the Buffalo newspaper say that Nurul Amin Shah Alam was dropped off at a Tim Hortons that was closed. He did not have any shoes. He was wearing orange paper booties issued to him at the holding center. His body was found 5 miles from there.
Temps in this region at night have been in the teens, with wind chills near zero.
Buffalo mayor Ryan said about the agents who left him at a closed restaurant that it was not just bad policing. It was bad human beings. They should have taken him to one of the several shelters in Buffalo.
Buffalo police and the county DA's office are investigating.
That poor man must have wandered around trying to find shelter.
