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 suspected driver in the shooting death of 7-year-old Jazmine Barnes will be held without bail, a Texas judge ruled Monday.Eric Black Jr., 20, did not speak during the five-minute probable cause hearing in Harris County court. Wearing a yellow jail jumpsuit, his hands and feet shackled, he sat in the jurors' box during the proceeding with at least a half-dozen deputies in tactical vests standing before him.The Harris County Sheriff's Office said Saturday it filed capital murder charges against the 20-year-old, but it was not clear if he has been formally charged by the court. Black was not required to enter a plea Monday.His attorney, Alvin Nunnery, entered a motion saying Black invoked his Fifth Amendment rights and should no longer be interviewed by investigators. The motion was granted.Prosecutors said Black has confessed to driving the car from which Jazmine was shot December 30 in Houston, and a gun found at his home was consistent with eight shell casings found at the scene. Black and the suspected shooter mistook the car carrying Jazmine for a car belonging to someone with whom the pair had had an earlier altercation at a club, prosecutors said.Black's mother wept and clutched a family member's hand during the hearing. Black mouthed "I love you" to family members as he left the courtroom.Police: Traffic stop led to confessionBlack was pulled over for failing to use a turn signal Saturday night and was arrested for marijuana possession, Texas authorities said.Thanks to an earlier anonymous tip, police learned Black might have been involved in the drive-by shooting of Jazmine, who was shot in the head while riding in a car with her three sisters and their mother.The anonymous tipster said Black and another person, identified as "L.W.," shot at the vehicle after mistaking it for another one.During questioning, Black acknowledged he drove the vehicle used in the shooting while a man in the passenger seat opened fire, according to an affidavit.Black also said the gun used in the shooting was at his home, the affidavit said. He gave officers permission to search his home, where they found a 9 mm pistol consistent with shell casings recovered from the scene.The fate of "L.W." is not clear.Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said he believes two suspects were involved in the shooting.The sheriff declined to name the second person, citing the investigation. Prosecutors identified Larry Woodruffe as the second suspect in a court hearing Saturday, the 2505

The Supreme Court is ruling 5-4 to close the courthouse door on the parents of a Mexican teenager who was shot dead over the border by an American agent. The court's five conservative justices ruled Tuesday that the parents could not sue Border Patrol Agent Jesus Mesa Jr., who killed their unarmed 15-year-old son in 2010. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court that the case is tragic, but that strong border security and international relations issues led to the ruling against the teen's parents. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her three liberal colleagues dissented.“Since regulating the conduct of agents at the border unquestionably has national security implications, the risk of undermining border security provides reasons to hesitate” Alito wrote in the majority opinion. 797

The Trump administration on Tuesday announced it is stopping imports of clothing, gold, diamonds and other items believed to have been produced with forced labor by companies based in Brazil, China and Malaysia as well as some gold mined in eastern Congo and diamonds from a region in Zimbabwe.An official at U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Brenda Smith, said her agency issued orders to immediately detain the goods at U.S. ports of entry for further investigation. The move comes amid a wide-ranging trade dispute between the U.S. and China, which has led to new tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of goods.Smith says the “message here is that one of the ways the U.S. and China can collaborate together is to ensure that forced labor is not used.”She said the companies can re-export the detained shipments or submit information to show they’re legal.The companies sanctioned are Bonechar Carv?o Ativado Do Brasil Ltda; Hetian Taida Apparel Co., Ltd. in Xinjiang, China and WRP Asia Pacific Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia. The action also covers gold mined at small artisan mines in eastern Congo and rough diamonds from the Marange diamond fields in Zimbabwe.Zimbabwe’s government in a statement called the U.S. decision “a blatant and shameless lie.” The Marange region was in the spotlight a decade ago over alleged army killings of artisanal miners and forced labor. The fields are now commercially mined. 1434

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees are one group who are expected to work without pay during the shutdown. Now, some of them have been choosing not to come in by calling in sick. Brian Turner, a TSA agent, and his wife are new parents. Thanks to the government shutdown, Turner has no idea when he'll get his next paycheck, and the couple is worried they could run out of money by the end of the month. “We are a paycheck to paycheck family, in the reality of it,” Turner says. “So, we do depend on that constant income.” Turner is considered an essential employee, so he still has to work even though he's not currently getting paid.“When you don't have a paycheck coming in and you don't have a guaranteed source of income when you thought you did, it's disheartening and it kind of makes you feel a little panicked,” he says.For some TSA agents, the shutdown is taking its toll. A growing number of agents are now calling out sick to work other places or to find new jobs. Safety and long lines could become another concern if the shutdown continues. “Poor morale or other issues that could affect the TSA because of the shutdown and not getting paid, that could have some sort of intangible effect on how well they're doing their jobs,” says David Inserra, with the Heritage Foundation. “People are people, and if you're not getting paid, if you're upset, you're probably not going to be doing as good of a job as you otherwise would.” For now, Turner is still going to work. He hopes Congress and President Trump do the same and find a shutdown solution. “You feel hopeless and you feel helpless,” Turner expresses. “I'm not in Washington. I don't have the influence these people of power have, and we rely on them. We elect them to these positions to get a job done.” 1807
