Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

U.S. immigration officials detained a blind Rohingya refugee in Buffalo last week. After deciding there were no grounds to deport him, they released him about five miles from home. Using his walking stick, he attempted to walk back alone and died on the way.
