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.

(3,380 posts)I would imagine there were more than one agents involved and it is incredible to me that not one would speak up and say we can't do this. What vile, disgusting semi human beings ICE employees are.

(25,540 posts)insufficient clothing to keep warm. Not only have the temps been very cold this winter, for longer stretches than usual, but this is one of the windiest winters I have ever seen. The cold is bone chilling. Even after coming indoors, it takes a long time to warm up.

Seems like a strange coincidence that he would die of a health related cause and not exposure when he was outdoors without shoes in freezing weather. If he had a health condition, surely the cold did him no good.

(1,863 posts)Im very familiar with Buffalo. It appears he walked from the Tim Hortons on Niagara St. where he was criminally and cruelly discharged, about 5 miles south and then dropped dead very close to where he actually lived. Its curious and tragic that law enforcement didnt see this shoeless man struggling along Niagara St and intervene in some way. Hed have to walk along major thoroughfares to get from point A to point B and there wouldve been frequent patrol cars passing by him along that route. That said, the bastards who dumped him at the closed donut shop need to be brought to account and charged, at a minimum with manslaughter.

I would think that Buffalo police would patrol around Niagara Street. A man stumbling around would be noticeable. Maybe they saw him and thought he was drunk. They would stop a drunk driver but not a drunk walker.
He survived attacks on his people in Myanmar only to die as a refugee in the US.
There are no words to describe my contempt for ICE.
