TUCSON, Ariz. — Arizona geography teacher Scott Warren is on trial for being accused of giving two migrants temporary shelter in the Sonoran Desert. But Warren’s arrest hasn’t stopped humanitarian organizations from continuing to help those who need it.One of those organizations is Humane Borders.“The whole idea of Humane Borders is to save lives,” said Steve Saltonstall, a 75-year-old volunteer and retired trial lawyer in Tucson. He drives into the Sonoran Desert often to fill water tanks that Humane Borders has scattered across Southern Arizona for those who need it.“The desert is an extremely harsh environment,” said Joe Curran with the Tucson Sector of the U.S. Border Patrol. “You’re just surrounded by absolute, desolate nothing. There’s no water out here, there’s minimal cellphone reception.”On this specific Friday, Saltonstall and other volunteers met at 6 a.m. to check a route of water tanks west of Tucson.“We go to each water station and fill it if need be, if the station is vandalized, we’ll replace the barrel,” he said. Salntonstall explained that sometimes people will put arsenic or gasoline in the barrels, so the water has to be tested often. He's also seen bullet holes in barrels.The organization has these in place mainly for people traveling north from the U.S.-Mexico border.Over the years, Humane Borders and the Pima County Medical Examiner’s Office have put together a death map which shows where more than 3,000 people crossing the border have died since 2000.“We consult those maps and try to put water stations where people have been found dead,” Saltonstall said. “It’s not easy walking, especially at night when people walk a lot to try and avoid the Border Patrol.”The Border Patrol has implemented their own initiatives to help those in distress — solar-powered safety beacons. These beacons have a button on them that notifies Border Patrol that someone needs help.“It could just be an average citizen in distress but a majority of what we see are illegal immigrants,” Curran said. “We have 34 of (the safety beacons) across Tucson sector.”The Tucson sector spans more than 250 miles in the Arizona desert.“We’re gonna make sure everyone has water, food and everybody is medically evaluated," Curran said.In 2018, the agency rescued more than 140 people at beacon locations.According to Curran, if you come across someone in the desert, the best thing to do is offer them water if they need it, and contact the proper authorities.But what happens next for those who are found in the desert depends on their citizenship status.“These are acts of desperation,” said Maurice Goldman, a Tucson immigration attorney.Humanitarians and other people who help those migrants, like Saltonstall and Humane Borders, also face a certain risk.“Most of these individuals that are out there doing this good work are aware that there is that risk,” Goldman said. “The government could bring charges against an individual for assisting or harboring an immigrant or migrant.”The number of people the government is actually prosecuting for that is also on the rise.As of November 2019, there have been more than 5,700 prosecuted cases, a 27% increase over 2018, according to the 3217

The suicide of Jeffrey Epstein is bringing attention to what employees say is a broader problem at short-staffed budget-constrained federal prisons where employees who aren't prison guards are doing guard duty and overtime shifts regularly.Attorney General William Barr said Monday that "serious irregularities" were found at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York, long thought to be a well-run facility that has been used to house high-profile prisoners who require highly secure conditions.In the case of Epstein, at least one of the two employees on duty at the time was not part of the regular detention workforce but was filling in as a guard, according to a person briefed on the matter. The person's regular position is not publicly known.Budget cuts and hiring freezes first put in place at the beginning of the Trump administration have taken a toll at law enforcement agencies including the federal Bureau of Prisons, employees say.After years of complaints, Barr lifted the hiring freeze in April.But employees say the measures the bureau has had to take to live with budget restraints have taken a toll, including at the MCC.One of those measures used is called "augmentation" and allows for workers who were hired as teachers and cooks to be trained to fill in at posts normally manned by trained detention officers.One of the guards who was on duty during Epstein's death was filling in for regular guards."It's due to understaffing. It's due to not having enough correctional officers," Serene Gregg, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 3148, which represents employees at the MCC."They would be performing the functions of correctional officers," Gregg said.The Bureau of Prisons declined to comment and referred to Barr's comments.Push to put Epstein in general populationEpstein's attorneys, who spent as many as 12 hours a day meeting with him, had pushed the prison to move Epstein into the facility's general population, a person briefed on the matter said. One of the arguments they made was that he was doing well and that he could use an improvement in his living conditions.Epstein's lawyers didn't respond to a request for comment.The decision to move him from suicide watch occurred after the prison staff conducted daily psychological assessments and, according to the person briefed on the matter, determined it was safe for him to be returned to the prison's special housing unit, which is a section more restricted than general population.When Epstein was taken off suicide watch on July 29, days after his first suicide attempt, he was returned to the facility's special housing unit, where normal protocol calls for him to be housed with a cellmate and to be checked on every 30 minutes.Epstein's cellmate was moved out on Friday, a day before Epstein was found dead, a person briefed on the matter said. In the hours before his death was discovered, there were no checks made, the person said.Both guards were working overtime shifts, but it's unclear whether that was mandatory. One person familiar with the matter said both employees volunteered. Union officials say that the overtime was mandatory.Gregg claimed it's not uncommon at the MCC for employees to work 17-and 18-hour-days and are not allowed to refuse the mandatory overtimes."A lot of them are working mandatory overtime three or four times a week," Gregg said. "There's no one to relieve you at end of an eight-hour shift." 3477
