Statement from Congressman Kennedy on Erie County Medical Examiner Report on Cause of Death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Congressman Tim Kennedy issued the following statement today following the completion of the Erie County Medical Examiner's report of the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam:

"The Erie County Medical Examiner has confirmed what we suspected: Mr. Shah Alam's death has been ruled a homicide.

"Mr. Shah Alam would be alive today with his family if he had access to medical care. Instead, he was callously abandoned on a cold winter night by Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security.

"In light of this determination, DHS must fully cooperate with New York State Attorney General James, and newly-confirmed DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin must order an independent and transparent investigation."
