In Arizona a group called No More Deaths has been placing water for migrants who try to cross the desert. Scott Warren, a geography teacher, helped a pair of migrants from Central America, and he was arrested on felony charges by Border Patrol agents. He was put on trial and faced up to 20 years in prison.
More than 3000 migrants have died in the Arizona desert since 2000. Border agents have been observed dumping water supplies into the sand.
The prosecution’s closing argument noted of Mr. Warren, “He gave them food, he gave them water, he gave them a place to stay....He did a bad thing.”
The trial ended in a hung jury.
Note to my readers. I will be on an extended trip for the next seven days. I will try to post along the way, but I often have trouble connecting. If I go dark, that’s the reason. Also, I’m setting off in a car that is displaying the “check engine” light, so it may be longer than seven days.
One final note: Did you hear or read about Trump’s press conference yesterday? There really is something wrong with him. He made so many statements that suggest he is losing his connection to reality.
