A volunteer for the humanitarian aid group No More Deaths faces three felony charges for helping two undocumented migrants. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

For many in the overflow crowd attending the first two days of the federal trial of Scott Warren last week, the stakes were clear: Under the Trump administration, where does humanitarian aid to the thousands of migrants traversing the Arizona desert cross the line into a crime?

Warren, a volunteer for the humanitarian aid group No More Deaths, faces three felony charges tied to his arrest on January 17, 2018, in Ajo, Arizona, for helping two undocumented migrants. Warren has pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to transport and harbor the two men and to two counts of harboring undocumented immigrants. He faces up to 20 years in prison.

The epitome of a pro life country 🤪

He's doing what Jesus would do.

🎉🎉🎉

Womp womp

That’s more than the guy who chucked the child off the balcony at mallofamerica

This guy is obviously a human smuggler he needs to locked up

Jesus didn't check for citizenship when he fed the multitudes, nor did the Good Samaritan when he helped the stranger...they just did the right thing for someone in need. Can you deny that?

There are so many intelligent responses on this tweet, but I think people missed the bigger picture. This guy may get 20 yrs or probation. Fake news CNN is just trying to pit Americans against each other by this tweet. Enemy of the people CNN

Good

Throw himjail now

Go figure, liberals who think they’re above the law, or they know best. Typical.

Most rapist don’t get this much time

20 years seems like too much... especially because he'd probably get raped in there. Why not a year each and see if they show up as prison visitors?

He knew the laws!

No good deed goes unpunished it seems...

The law is the law. If you go to another country and do the same you will get in trouble too. I came legally to the US. If you don’t have a visa or permission to be in this country, you have to face the consequences!

This is disgraceful. Jailing people for being humanitarian What has happened to this country?

Not aid. He's straight up human trafficking encouraging more to take this dangerous route & die by advertising on the internet 'the Barn'according to the migrants. He's also guilty of undermining & promoting hate towards BP trying to do their jobs as well as breaking the law.

This is gross.

How did this even make it into court It should be criminal to NOT help someone in need if you have the resources - including undocumented migrants!

This is obscene bullshit!

Yet, a person can do far worse things and get a much lighter sentence. The whole system is flawed.

Good!

Why this is outrageous. It is a disgrace to American values. This trial is a sham. It even goes against what Jesus would do. Why would you even consider such scam. No trial .

So, in other words, a Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) is on trial because of the ineptitude of law enforcement? DHSgov TheJusticeDept

The jails and prisons are full and we think it is important to put this guy away because he was being humane? Please tell me this ain't so!

Good. Aiding and bedding a person committing a crime should be arrested. A person crossing the borders is not a migrant they are an illegal alien. Illegal immagrant. Can you not understand?

Good ! It’s called aiding and abetting a criminal .

cnn I think you mean *Coyote.

Not all good deeds are necessarily legal. Good intentions of misguided volunteers can land them in jail.

Lock him up and make the punishment more

Good !!!

Disaster aid bill worth $19.1 billion blocked again in HouseThe U.S. House of Representatives on Tuesday failed again to pass a $19.1 billion disaster aid bill supported by President Donald Trump after a Republican lawmaker objected to the measure. Following Senate passage of the legislation last Thursday by a vote of 85-8, House Democratic leaders had hoped GOP will try to blame the Democratic majority in the House. Tell is like it is:' individual House Republicans have been able to block passage twice - once last Friday and again on Tuesday - by demanding an official roll call vote. Any roll call vote would have to wait until the full House returns to work next week.' Putin Republican B.S. Pathetic...but...but...the VOTERS elected these jokers...every one of them. So be it , especially if they are re-elected. The President did all he could.
