MS NOW: There is growing outrage today over the death of a blind father who was dropped off by Border Patrol agents miles away from home and in the cold. Nurul Amin Shah Alam was a Burmese refugee. His attorney says he was not only nearly blind, but spoke virtually no English. He had been reported missing by his family and then found dead a few miles away from where he'd been released after a five-day search. His family said no one ever notified them he had been dropped off.

Officials in upstate New York are demanding an investigation into the death of a refugee who was found dead in Buffalo this week, after being released from the custody of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, suffered from various medical conditions, including visual impairment, with his attorney describing him as nearly blind and unable to speak English. Border Patrol agents briefly took Alam into their custody after he was released by the Erie County Sheriff's Office, where he had been held on assault and weapons charges tied to an incident last year. After discovering he was not subject to immigration arrest or deportation because he was in the U.S. as a legal and lawful refugee, agents dropped him off at a local coffee shop near his last known address, DHS said. He was found several days later.Camilo Montoya-Galvez has more.

Border Patrol dump blind refugee 5 miles away from home—he was found dead on the street. Officers dropped him off in front of a donut shop—didn't notify his lawyer or family he was even released. When reported missing—local police said he was in ICE custody and stopped looking for him. Nurul Amin Shah Alam is 56 years old, nearly blind, spoke no English, and dealt with serious medical conditions. He was left to die alone—abandoned in the year's worst winter storm on the streets of Buffalo, New York.
