Rohingya refugee's death ruled homicide after border agent abandonment
A US medical examiner has ruled the death of Nurul Amin Shah, a 56-year-old blind Rohingya refugee, a homicide after Border Patrol agents dropped him outside a Tim Hortons in Buffalo on a cold night in February without contacting his family or attorney. Shah died five days later on February 24, and the ruling transforms what the government framed as a removal operation into a potential criminal matter. The case has drawn sharp scrutiny to immigration enforcement conduct under the current administration.
