DR. SCOTT WARREN IN FEDERAL COURT:

On Tuesday, November 12, in federal court in Tucson, Arizona, this gentle man, Dr. Scott Warren, will be retried for providing water, food, a bed, and medical aid to two Central American migrants in Ajo, Arizona.​ In June he was acquitted 8-4 of these and other charges, but the government is determined to make an example of Scott,. Please see nomoredeaths.org for daily updates of the trial. Every day, throughout Southern Arizona, people are doing just what Scott is accused of doing--helping people in need. Please follow his trial. Thanks, Sue

​WHY THIS CASE MATTERS:
  • There is a humanitarian crisis of death and disappearance along the US-Mexico borderlands. Over 3,000 remains of migrants have been found in the Arizona desert since 2001. On average, a body is discovered every three days – updated number of known migrant deaths here.
  • Scott’s arrest is part of a nationwide pattern in which ICE & CBP are targeting groups and individuals who speak out against their abusive policies.
  • What Scott did is not exceptional and happens every day in the borderlands. Border residents have been offering life-saving humanitarian assistance to migrants crossing the desert for generations. 
  • These charges are an attempt to re-interpret the harboring statute and pose a grave threat to everyday people across the country.
