A lot of the reporting I've heard about this says that CBP left him outside o donut shop (some reports even go so far as to mention the freezing weather.) BU tmany of the reports seem to not mention that the donut shop was closed. Huh! ETA: shooting peaceful protester in Minneapolis is way bad, but dropping off someone in the middle of the night to freeze do death. Wow! Yuo've gotta wonder how Harry (the buck stops here) Truman would handle this.

1

TransiTorri Apr 3, 2026 +1

Yeah, what they did was essentially no different than driving him to the middle of nowhere in freezing temperatures with nothing, kicking him out, and driving away. It was absolutely homicide and everyone who touched this in any way should be investigated and brought in for trial.

There's a word for this. "Starlight tour"

1

highlorestat Apr 3, 2026 +1

>Starlight tours are a series of incidents involving Indigenous Canadians and members of the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) over a period spanning from at least 1976 to 2018 It's NOT really hard to believe that the Germans actually feared Canadians during the world wars

1

GGnerd Apr 3, 2026 +1

Lol ya because Germany was so innocent during WW2. You know....30+ years before starlight tours were a thing.

No....memes are shit.

You stayed around long enough to become the villain.

Ser_Daynes_Dawn Apr 3, 2026 +1

You’re not wrong. And it sucks. I’m guilty of letting so much of this slide because I thought it would level out. How many stupid comments I let slide because I didn’t want to engage in crazy. Every time I didn’t speak up was a win for this. I voted for Kamala and thought that’d be enough, but we are clearly in the endgame.

1

Pet_The_Monkey Apr 3, 2026 +1

So much respect for this comment.

1

ShadowNick Apr 3, 2026 +1

But Kamala's laugh though.

Poisonous_Taco Apr 3, 2026 +1

I'm not even sure if it was becoming the villain, more like the Scooby Gang teaming the mask of bad guys and it having been is all along. We have been very good at sweeping it under the rug for about 250 years now.

Really. What did he accomplish?

1

anonkitty2 Apr 3, 2026 +1

The Affordable Health Care Act and the related insurance market. The Democrats didn't realize that the Republicans were starting to become anti-compromise, but there was enough of the type MAGA drove out that Democratic majorities could get things done. He was also able to maintain the type of government necessary for Democratic policies to have full impact. And he attempted some serious environmental policies.

1

Impressive-Knot9999 Apr 3, 2026 +1

It was deplorable and no kindness was shown towards a person who was unable to communicate or see where he was. Total lack of compassion. It must have been very scary for him. I can't imagine how awful it was

1

acostane Apr 3, 2026 +1

They sanitize the reporting about this because they don't want people to imagine what it must have been like...blind and essentially voiceless... being confused and dropped off in freezing silence knowing you were about to die. This is so ICE supporters can continue to believe they're supporting good crime fighting Christian boys. And so regular people won't start asking how big the percentage of homicidal psychopaths is in our government. I can barely stand to think of what happened to this man. It makes me chest ache desperately. Same with the children in the detention centers. Just everything about this is beyond my comprehension as a person who cares about other people. 🤷‍♀️

Don’t forget the people funding this. Among other things, it takes 30 minutes of research to move money away from MAGA, and it makes a difference. Dollars spent at Republican companies are dollars funneled to more of this. Money given to states like Ohio or Louisiana is money spent sending troops to kidnap children and kill people. Every dollar is a vote. You can use sites like [opensecrets.org/orgs/search](https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/search) to find the companies you give money to the most and where they funnel your money. If you don't like it, search their competitors. For example, trade with Schwab? Move elsewhere like Fidelity. Get booze from cosplay Confederate states and all else is equal? Be adventurous, and try something new. New Balance can be replaced with Hoka. It’s not hard to find alternatives for Estee Lauder, Roark (which owns Subway, Jimmy John's, Arby's), and Koch (which owns Brawny, Angel Soft, Dixie). You don't have to spend more, just differently. Nexstar and Sinclair got pummeled, and they reinstated Jimmy Kimmel. In Trump's first term, Ivanka's brands got cut by retailers. Regular people did that. There's no reason WWE or Uline can't be next. You can't avoid every Republican-leaning company, but there’s a big difference between GOP mega-donors (Chevron/Conoco) vs neutral or Democrat-leaning companies (Circle K/Costco). Good is not the enemy of perfect

If memory serves it was after dark as well so most stuff was closed.

and the assholes say they communicated with him. how! he doesn’t even speak english

ThirdSunRising Apr 3, 2026 +1

Oh plus he's blind so finding his way anywhere warm would be a hell of a struggle

The shop being closed came out recently, with the footage.

adorable_annablack Apr 3, 2026 +1

Rare to see actual accountability in cases like this. Usually, these rulings get tied up in qualified immunity for years.

1

navikredstar Apr 3, 2026 +1

I'm a local, from Buffalo. Believe me when I say, it's *INFURIATED* people here and the County ain't f****** around on it. The majority of us here are pissed as f*** about it. The Burmese and Somali refugee communities have legitimately been *REALLY* good for the city, they've been turning around a lot of neighborhoods that have been run-down and dilapidated since I was a little girl here (I'm going on 40 for context). They're *GOOD* people and assets to the city. The only people who don't like them are the MAGA freaks. Buffalo was built and made great by immigrants and refugees.

gumheaded1 Apr 3, 2026 +1

Accountability is when people get put in prison. I hope that is coming.

1

Sweet-angel-87 Apr 3, 2026 +1

This, was half expecting the ruling to go in favor of the border patrol

1

StrangerFew2424 Apr 3, 2026 +1

The POSs who left him there should be prosecuted...

1

kickinwood Apr 3, 2026 +1

So should the guys on film shooting innocent Americans to death. Just shooting Americans. In the street. As government reps. Shooting them in the face, or the back of the head and then a dozen more times to litter the corpse. Masked up government agents killing Americans. And that's on YouTube. So don't hold your breath for this one.

Killing the blind? Where the Nazis this cruel?

1

Mikethebest78 Apr 3, 2026 +1

In reference to killing the disabled yes they were actually.

1

DarthWeber Apr 3, 2026 +1

They started with the disabled.

1

TransiTorri Apr 3, 2026 +1

Disabled and queers were some of the first groups the Nazi went after. The phrase "Useless eaters" was the language used, and propaganda around the disabled painted them as parasites and a drain on society, and you'll notice the very obvious and stark parallels that some political groups have towards the disabled today, along with mental health services or other disability accommodations. Basically adopting the opinion that they simply shouldn't be allowed to live if they can't work in service of the Fatherland. Same shit, different decade.

MourningRIF Apr 3, 2026 +1

Yeah... Absolutely... First to be targeted

patentlyfakeid Apr 3, 2026 +1

Wat? They stacked people like cordwood in gashouses. So yes. Does it matter? ICE's actions were still heinous.

1

dead1345987 Apr 3, 2026 +1

not to mention the amount of warehouses ICE has purchased over the past year, the amount of admin that have moved to military bases, and trump wants to build a military compound under the now demolished east wing. they are literally trying to make that stupid mediocre movie "Civil War" a reality.

1

PitifulPreparation71 Apr 3, 2026 +1

East wing….

1

Little_View_6659 Apr 3, 2026 +1

The footage of them being forced to go to the camps and see the bodies stacked up was at least something. You could see the Nazi commanders, in their snazzy uniforms cover their noses and mouths to keep from gagging, and the allies marched them through. Deserved it.

1

YesHunty Apr 3, 2026 +1

Yes that was kind of one of their favorite things to do, killing the disabled.

1

NeoThorrus Apr 3, 2026 +1

Actually, gassed 250k people for disabilities, including children.

Really should be murder. They planned and knew what would happen if they left the guy in freezing weather outside a closed shop.

1

JoosLightning Apr 3, 2026 +1

“…charged with trespassing and misdemeanor possession of a weapon. The blind refugee was lost on a walk and using a curtain rod as a walking stick that police alleged he was “swinging in a menacing manner.” He was tased, beaten, and arrested.” Jfc We have ~2 years 9 months to go.

1

Kotkaez Apr 3, 2026 +1

Lmao that's not what happened at all he went onto someone's property picked up a rebar and beat owners dog with it there's literally a bodycam of it not to mention he got tased because he bitten both of cops and he wasn't even blind either.

1

Echo418 Apr 3, 2026 +1

And none of that means he should have been killed for it.

Comfortable-Cycle-30 Apr 3, 2026 +1

Who is going to be held accountable for this behaviour? Who is taking responsibility for this? I want names

1

Quietabandon Apr 3, 2026 +1

Don’t get me wrong. ICE has been acting reprehensibly. But the title is wrong and I think people are mistaking the medical examiner report for a legal decision and that the inappropriate location he was dropped of at as being directly linked to his death. 1. The medical examiner finding was homicide. A court has not established any guilt or negligence. 1. I think the claim to the medical examiner is likely stress and dehydration caused this intestinal rupture, but there are many causes for intestinal ulcers so it will be for any prosecution to establish a connection between the two. I am not sure how the medical examiner specifically could say that the intestine ruptured from cold and dehydration.

1

_mully_ Apr 3, 2026 +1

Sad. Rest in peace.

1

FantasticJacket7 Apr 3, 2026 +1

Um what? Pretty sure that judges don't determine causes of death. Edit: Apparently no one else is concerned about an obvious and significant error in a headline.

1

kevendo Apr 3, 2026 +1

The headline seems to be confusing a judge and a medical examiner. "The Medical Examiner’s office said that Shah Alam suffered from a burst ulcer in his small intestine that was precipitated by hypothermia and dehydration." The family is suing now that they have a cause of death.

1

spacebarcafelatte Apr 3, 2026 +1

They've got culpability nailed tho.

1

RDKryten Apr 3, 2026 +1

You're right. It is generally the medical examiner that makes the determination for cause of death, such as natural, accident, homicide, suicide, or undetermined. Even the article that this one links to makes it clear that the medical examiner, not a judge, made the determination. Title is completely wrong.
