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.

(25,525 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.
