Buffalo: Blind refugee found dead four miles from where Border Patrol 'abandoned' him
Duration: 6:40 Views: 3.3K Submitted: 2 months ago Submitted by:
An almost blind refugee who disappeared after being dropped off at a coffee shop by Border Patrol has been found dead in a New York street.
The body of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, was discovered four miles from the Tim Hortons in Buffalo where agents abandoned him.
Shah Alam, from Myanmar, was unable to speak English or use a phone and his death was ruled as health-related, according to Buffalo News.
He was found dead on Tuesday evening five days after he was left at the restaurant after being released into CBP custody following a stint in jail.
Shah Alam spent close to a year in the Erie County Holding Center for an incident that left two police officers injured before being handed over to Border Patrol.
Federal agents are now accused of giving Shah Alam a 'courtesy ride' before abandoning him.
News of his death has since triggered intense community concern and demands for accountability.
'The preventable death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam is deeply disturbing and a dereliction of duty by the US Customs and Border Protection,' Buffalo Mayor Sean Ryan said in a statement Wednesday.
Federal authorities are now being accused of abandoning him at Tim Hortons without notifying anyone.
Representative Tim Kennedy, D-Buffalo, issued a statement Wednesday afternoon calling the refugee's death a 'horrific and heartbreaking tragedy.'
'Mr. Alam should be alive and with his loved ones today. Instead, after days of fear and uncertainty, his family is now grieving an unimaginable loss,' Kennedy said.
'There must be a full and transparent investigation at the local, state and federal levels,' he added. 'The public and Mr. Alam’s family deserve answers immediately.'
Mohammed Osman Shimul, an active member of Buffalo's Bengali community, told Buffalo News that Shah Alam's death is simply 'alarming.'
'The circumstances surrounding his death are alarming and raise questions about the level of humanity exhibited by those involved,' he said.
'His absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him, as well as the entire Buffalo community.'
The Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo, which represents Shah Alam, also published a statement to social media expressing their sadness.

Blindness didn't keep him from making it here but once here we're supposed to cart him around, is that it?
