Criminal Prosecutions of Humanitarian Workers

By immigrationprof

Top Border Patrol officials in Tucson, Arizona have pledged to arrest anyone who transports undocumented immigrants regardless of the mission or the victim’s medical condition. On July 9, 2005, two No More Deaths volunteers were arrested after giving three undocumented immigrants, who they said were in serious need of medical help, a ride from the camp to a clinic in a Tucson church. The volunteers, Shanti Sellz and Daniel Strauss, both 24, are awaiting trial on federal charges of transporting illegal immigrants. Click here for a story from the Arizona Republic.
