for all the right reasons - congrats to them...on another level - this case should never have seen the light of day..it was only done to send a message to those who would help people looking for a better life..a safe harbor for their family...in the name of humanity..Warren wasn't looking for fame or fortune..or the limelight..

Imagine for a minute, not only was Warren charged, two felony harboring charges after authorities raided an Ajo migrant aid station known as the Barn in January 2018 - the first jury couldn't figure it out and a mistrial was called...a hung jury..then a second prosecution …thank goodness we have an acquittal..

I have traveled through Ajo..to Mexico..through the desert, some of the most harsh terrain, and I shudder, thinking about those families, destitute, hungry, thirsty, children, men and women fleeing from what has to be horrible conditions..

While in Mexico, I bought trinkets and paid double in "American dollars"..at many intersections, the Red Cross was ready to receive donations..I gave to ALL of them..if I used a rest room..I paid the cleaning people..double anything I have ever done..I have seen for myself how families will run to your car, if you stop at a convenience store, to wash your windshield, or headlights..they don't want a handout..they just want a hand UP!!! Just a chance....finally, the people of AZ made the right decision, an acquittal of Scott Warren...
