VIDEO STILL/DEMOCRACY NOW!

 
“The government failed in its attempt to criminalize basic human kindness,” says Scott Warren to the crowd outside the Arizona courthouse after a jury found him innocent of harboring immigrants. Warren, who faced 10 years in prison, is a volunteer for No More Deaths, a group that extends kindness to immigrants who face death in their trek through the dessert. Warren was arrested soon after No More Deaths published a video of border agents pouring out water jugs left for migrants in the desert. Since 2001, more than 3,000 sets of human remains suspected of belonging to migrants who died in the deserts of Southern Arizona were identified.
