Final charge against Arizona border activist dropped [View all]

TUCSON - A judge has approved the federal prosecutors' motion to dismiss the final misdemeanor charge against a border activist acquitted of felony charges for helping migrants evade authorities.

Scott Warren is still accused of operating a motor vehicle in a wilderness area. It stems from his work in Arizona with the group “No More Deaths.”

In November 2019, Warren was acquitted of felony charges of illegally harboring two migrants in Southern Arizona.

According to Wednesday’s filing, “in the interest of justice,” the government is pushing for the court to “dismiss Count 1 with prejudice”.
