Description:
|
An Arizona geographer,
caught in the crossfire
between federal law
enforcement and humanitarian
activity, shares his story
with Albion on Wednesday,
September 25. The
presentation takes place at
4:15 p.m. in Albion
College's Bobbitt Visual
Arts Center.
.
Scott Warren, a geographer
at Arizona State University,
was arrested in January 2018
for involvement in
humanitarian aid work in
Arizona. Warren, who lives
in what is described as the
deadliest land crossing
between the U.S. and Mexico,
was charged with two counts
of Human Smuggling and one
count of Conspiracy to
Harbor. In 2019, an Arizona
trial resulted in a hung
jury, and Warren now faces a
federal trial, set to begin
in November.
Warren's case has attracted
national attention and more
information can be found at
