When people trying to save the lives of desperate refugees are called criminals just for trying to provide food and water to prevent death, then what is left of any value in the country persecuting them ? Nothing. Not a goddamned thing.
Federal Court Convicts Four People—for Trying to Save the Lives of Immigrants
On January 18, four women working with the group No More Deaths were convicted of misdemeanor charges stemming from their arrests in 2017 for leaving water and food for immigrants making the crossing through the dangerous deserts of the Arizona-Mexico border. For years, volunteers with No More Deaths have placed food and water in remote areas along the border regularly used by immigrants, and these supplies can mean the difference between life and death. At the same time, Border Patrol agents have been deliberately destroying these lifesaving supplies. A longtime volunteer with No More Deaths said, “This verdict challenges not only No More Deaths volunteers, but people of conscience throughout the country. If giving water to someone dying of thirst is illegal, what humanity is left in the law of this country?”
