Buffalo’s Arakan Rohingya community was rattled after a disabled man’s death. “Our worry comes from future incidents that may happen,” one resident said.

To be clear:

  • he was blind
  • he only spoke Rohingya
  • he was originally arrested because he got lost, and the cops beat him up for not complying with orders he could not understand
  • they gave him to ICE, which dumped him in the freezing cold without adequate clothes, outside a closed café, far from home
