They Left a Blind Man to Die --Then Lied About It
Mike Nellis
Yesterday morning, my stomach dropped when I woke up to the news that Nurul Amin Shah Alam — a blind, Muslim Rohingya refugee living in Buffalo — had been found dead after being left miles from his home following an ICE detention. I kept thinking about what those last hours must have felt like. Lost. Alone. Disoriented. In a city that wasn’t fully his yet. A man who came here seeking refuge, freedom from persecution, freedom to live a life of dignity.
That grief sat heavy.
Then this morning, it turned into something else.
Because I opened Twitter and saw DHS in my replies — the official account — doing what they always do. “Here are the FACTS.” As if we haven’t watched them lie for months. As if we haven’t seen them smear victims, bury evidence, stonewall investigators, and dare the public to doubt what’s right in front of them. And now they’re trying to litigate the death of a blind man in a comment thread, as if this is just a messaging problem to be cleaned up.
