Yesterday, we sat in court and heard the government's opening arguments against No More Deaths volunteer Dr. Scott Warren. Though we have heard them all before, the scope of the accusations remain deeply unsettling. Prosecutor Anna Wright went so far as to claim that the defense's arguments may be full of "distractions", by which she meant the greater context in which Scott and the rest of us live and work every day. A context in which we encounter human remains multiple times a week. A context in which a border patrol agent can destroy life-saving aid and face no consequence, while Scott faces up to 10 years in prison for his humanitarian efforts.
Today we are asking you to join with us, the Detention Watch Network and people across the nation as we call on Congress to hold CBP accountable for their egregious human rights violations and cease funding an agency so rampant with abuses.
