YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA nearly blind refugee who spoke almost no English was dropped off alone at a coffee shop on a freezing winter night, and five days later he was found dead. Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56-year-old Rohingya refugee from Myanmar, was left in Buffalo by Border Patrol agents with no plan to ensure he got home safely. 📄 He had survived genocide and entered the United States legally as a refugee. After a tragic misunderstanding led to minor criminal charges, agents later confirmed he was not deportable, yet still left him alone without notifying his family or his attorney. 🚨 Officials claim he showed no signs of distress, but his family says he was nearly blind, could not read or write, and spoke almost no English. The mayor of Buffalo called the decision inhumane and his death preventable. He came here seeking safety. He followed the law. And the system still let him die alone. ⏳
