Church volunteer Scott Warren was put on trial in June for giving immigrants water and first aid. When jurors refused to convict him, the case ended in a mistrial -- but Trump's prosecutors are about to try again, with a second trial starting November 12.
Scott volunteers with No More Deaths, a Unitarian-Universalist ministry that offers water, food, blankets, and medical aid along the border in Arizona. Now he could face years in prison, just for giving shelter to people in need.
Scott's arrest was a clear attempt by the Trump administration to crack down on immigrants -- and on all Americans who welcome the stranger and show love to our southern neighbors.
Let's show the Trump administration that these scare tactics won't work: Christians and other people of faith are still paying attention to this story, we are still committed to human rights for immigrants, and we will not stand for this crackdown on Good Samaritans!
