Judge Reverses Convictions of No More Deaths Volunteers

HeadlineFeb 05, 2020

A federal judge has reversed the convictions of four humanitarian volunteers with the group No More Deaths. The four volunteers had been fined and sentenced to probation last year after they left food and water for migrants inside the scorching Cabeza Prieta Wildlife Refuge in the summer of 2017. Arizona Judge Rosemary Márquez’s reversal of their convictions comes after another member of No More Deaths, Scott Warren, was found not guilty after he provided food, water and shelter to migrants who survived the perilous journey across the Sonoran Desert.
