Border Patrol gave Shah Alam what they called a courtesy ride to a coffee shop near his last known address.

But they didn't notify the family of where he was released.

And the address Border Patrol had for him was old.

The family had moved across town a few miles away.

You know, of course, this was a person who didn't speak English, was nearly blind.

And his son said he didn't read, write or use technology.

Buffalo's mayor, Sean Ryan, who's a Democrat, said in a statement on Wednesday that Shah Alam's death was preventable and the result of inhumane decision-making by federal immigration authorities.
