TL;DR Summary

Surveillance footage obtained by Investigative Post contradicts DHS’s claim that Border Patrol dropped Nurul Shah Alam, a nearly blind Rohingya refugee, at a warm, safe location after his jail release. The video shows a van arriving at a closed Tim Hortons in Buffalo after hours and Shah Alam, who could not access the shop, wandering the area for days before his death. DHS said officers offered a courtesy ride to a safe location, but critics say it amounted to abandonment. Refugees International and others are calling for a full probe into Border Patrol’s handling of Shah Alam and similar cases.
