U.S. activist tried to 'shield' migrants from Border Patrol: prosecutor

An Arizona activist charged with harboring two undocumented migrants was part of a conspiracy to transport and "shield" the men from law enforcement, a prosecutor said on Wednesday at the opening of his trial. U.S. Border Patrol arrested Warren in a January 2018 raid near Ajo, Arizona, after they found two migrants hiding in a building used by humanitarian groups. Warren faces three felony counts for allegedly transporting, harboring and hiding the men in a case likely to set a precedent over what aid U.S. citizens can give to illegal border crossers.
