Four women convicted after leaving food and water in desert for migrants | Indy 100
This is the underground railroad all over again. Somebody's bleeding green.
Four women who tried to help migrants by leaving food and water in the Arizona desert have been found guilty of entering a national wildlife refuge without a permit.
The four women were volunteers at No More Deaths, a group that seeks to end the deaths of undocumented immigrants crossing the desert near the Mexican/US border. The Arizona-Mexico border specifically is known for the number of human remains recovered there each year.
Another volunteer with No More Deaths, Catherine Gaffney, criticised the ruling, saying:
"If giving water to someone dying of thirst is illegal, what humanity is left in the law of this country?"
