These "Stop calling us Nazis!" are textbook Nazis. There is not a molecule of humanity in the entire bunch from the top of KKKristi's weave down. ICE and DHS need to be abolished. NOW. Mr. Alam was murdered, just like every other human being who has died on their watch. We must turn up the heat, call our representatives, demonstrate - all of it.
Qasim, thank you for writing about the inhumane way that CBP agents abandoned Mr. Alam at the parking lot of a coffee shop - without notifying his attorney or family that he was being released, and where/when. Mr. Alam had already been detained by local police for over a year, because he accidentally strayed into a resident's yard, and the woman called tge police, accusing him of trespassing and using his "cane" (the shower curtain rod) as a "weapon, right? Then CBP took custody of him
Thank you for reporting on this. It is truly heartbreaking and the feeling of helplessness is strong. In Alaska we just had a family torn apart south of Anchorage and not for the first time. A mother who was in the asylum application process with her three children married to a US citizen was grabbed by ICE, she and the two younger boys were back in Mexico in two days, the oldest son who was 18 was sent elsewhere. Absolutely no due process in any of this. This is the most cruel regime I have ever witnessed in my long life. We were moving ahead there for a while to a more just country, but Trump has nixed that. In my mind it is the hands of the GOP, as they with the Dems have the power to stop this immoral regime.
Thanks for covering this, Qasim. I can't believe the pure evil we're seeing in this govt. This is heartbreaking---and you know what else is? Rep. Al Greene being dragged out of the SOTU. Look at that man's face in the photo. It makes me want to cry. I mean all I can say right now is, "God, do you see this, do you, tell me you do." I'm just sick.
I share your grief. Periodically throughout the day, I think of him and start crying. The cruelty, the complete disregard for human dignity is heart crushing.
Can’t the city or state pursue this? All involved in this inhumane action, actively or passively, should be charged with killing this man, not just the ones who pushed him out & closed the door. I’d start with getting names. We have to be pushy as hell. Act then apologize. This is a sadistic act, the kind that brings joy to Stephen Miller.
Not sure what the city or state can do but we must call our representatives on Monday and demand an investigation into the death of Nural Amin Sha Alam.
I can find no words to convey the heartbreak, the fury, the disgust. I sometimes envy people of faith, because you may find solace and hope in divine justice... meanwhile I mourn, and regret the tragic indifference of the universe to this man, to his hard life, to his horrific death. May his captors and murderers never find rest again.

ICE is copying local law enforcement’s practice of “Starlight Tours” historically used to kill Native Americans and Indigenous Canadians since the 1970s and exposed in the early 2000s. https://www.grunge.com/308625/the-messed-up-truth-of-canadas-starlight-tours/
I was reading about the Starlight Tours not too long ago and, my god, this makes me hope there a hell.

Assignment for Monday...call your reps in Congress and demand an investigation into the death of Nural Amin Sha Alam.

Well said and definitely a story that needs to be repeated to the public over and over saved over!
Trump is a murderer.

Totally heartbreaking. I am running out of tears.
I have never been so ashamed of my country. It is devastating that he died alone in freezing conditions for no reason.
I’ve seen too many emails in my inbox that ask me to call or write my legal representatives in Congress to reform ICE, not abolish it altogether.
It’s a vicious rogue organization, feral in its attitude towards anyone it suspects is in any way inclined to mercy.

If you are human you should be devastated by what they did to that man. The ice-holes need to be dismantled and all of them prosecuted.
ICE & CBP combined have killed at least 79 people since Trump took office.
