"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, 56, was detained on February 19, reports Chicago’s ABC 7. CBP released him the same day after it was determined that he was not eligible for deportation, but rather than releasing him to his family or returning him to his home, they left him at a Buffalo Tim Horton’s. He was found dead of exposure several days later."
Looking forward to the State of New York bringing negligent manslaughter charges against these CBP goons when there's no longer an administration willing to shield them.
"Border Patrol agents offered him a courtesy ride, which he chose to accept to a coffee shop, determined to be a warm, safe location near his last known address, rather than be released directly from the Border Patrol station," the agency said.
It's a wonderful thing we have juries to make the call one way or the other. The State can present its evidence for negligence, and the officers can provide evidence of their innocence.
A jury of the officers' peers can decide who's making the stronger case.
It seems unlikely a man who doesn't speak English would elect to go to a closed coffee shop rather than home. Tim Horton's is good, but no point in going there if it isn't open.
Yeah, David but it doesn't appear he knew where he lived since he had been incarcerated for a year because his family left him in the lockup when they changed addresses rather than bailing him out. I haven't been to Buffalo, but I have been to Rochester. They are similarly sized cities which I would expect to have frequent police patrols and, according to Bing maps, there is a Marriott less than 1000 feet from Tim Horton.
Excuse me but when you decapitate a country by terminating the lives of 40 of your enemies top people, regime change by definition just occurred. No one yet knows how this will come out but one can surely make a valid argument that a new regime can’t be worse than the one just wiped out. Furthermore we live in a dynamic world so a new regime will take into account the recent demise of the old regime and act accordingly. I have no idea how this will all come out but I suspect that The West despite all the juvenile carping we are starting to hear will be better for it.
I take it then when President Trump leaves office in January, 2029 that the Trump regime will still remain. By your thinking we are still in the Washington Regime. Only thing that has changed is the we are now cutting cherry trees with chainsaws.
From a Facebook post by Lisa Land Cooper, Atlanta historian and author.
"Long before he became nationally known for the Uncle Remus stories, Joel Chandler Harris (1848–1908) built a remarkable career that shaped journalism and literature in the South.
Born in Eatonton, Harris grew up with limited means and left school early. His break came as a teenage typesetter’s apprentice at Turnwold Plantation, where he honed his writing skills and absorbed the African American folklore that later influenced his work. But Harris was far more than Uncle Remus.
Harris was one of Atlanta’s most influential journalists. He joined the Atlanta Constitution in 1876 and quickly became one of its most respected voices. His editorials championed reconciliation after the Civil War, regional modernization, and education as the path forward for the South. Through his columns, he helped shape national perceptions of Atlanta during its rise from Reconstruction into the New South era.
Harris was a national literary figure. Beyond folklore, Harris wrote essays, novels, children’s stories, and cultural commentary. His work was published in magazines across the country, and he became one of the most widely read Southern writers of his generation.
Harris is recognized for his preservation of folklore. While the Uncle Remus stories remain his most famous—and also the most debated—Harris played a significant role in preserving oral traditions that might otherwise have been lost. His method of transcription, though framed by the limitations and attitudes of his era, helped document a wide body of African American storytelling.
Atlantans recognize Harris for his home, the Wren’s Nest. In 1881 Harris purchased a Queen Anne–style home in Atlanta’s West End, affectionately named The Wren’s Nest. Today it is one of Atlanta’s oldest house museums, preserving Harris’s study, his typewriter, early editions of his works, and the rooms where he wrote many of his most famous pieces. The museum now emphasizes storytelling, literary education, and conversations about the legacy and complexity of Harris’s work.
Joel Chandler Harris remains a figure who shaped Atlanta’s literary identity—part newspaperman, part folklorist, part cultural commentator, and undeniably woven into the city’s intellectual history."

There is no way you know what happened and no way your accusations can be proven.
It could just as well have been planned by family members to raise money.

Or it could have been just as stated by the CBP.

I disagree. The head of the regime changed, but the regime itself is still in power.
To the extent that it’s a different regime, we are no better off.

The "regime" in the US is the Constitution. We change our administration of the regime constantly, but the regime remains.

Reports are out stating Kuwait downed three US aircraft on accident.
Not a great indicator of competence on our part, since we have bases in Kuwait.
I also saw this morning that the Administration is not ruling out ground troops, where they previously had.

Looks like Calvinball rules are in full effect.
Pretty obvious that the admin had no real plan.
