20 Years in Jail for Humanitarian Aid? Scott Warren |
Humanitarian aid volunteer Scott Warren faces up to 20 years in prison for providing food, water, and shelter to two undocumented migrants in Arizona's Sonoran Desert. An activist with Tucson-based No More Deaths, Warren is charged with three felony counts of "harboring" undocumented immigrants. His arrest on January 17, 2018, occurred hours after No More Deaths released a report and video detailing U.S. Border Patrol agents intentionally destroying over 3,000 gallons of water left for migrants. Authorities subsequently raided "the Barn," a No More Deaths aid camp, where the two migrants were found. This story was published by Democracy Now! on May 29, 2019. EarthSayer Scott Warren |
