When a person dies, No More Deaths/No Más Muertes volunteer Scott Warren believes, some extra-physical element of them remains, dwelling in the place where they passed. In the last six years, Warren has communed with the dead no fewer than 16 times in the desert outside Ajo, the tiny Arizona border town he calls home.
No More Deaths/No Más Muertes activist Scott Warren was charged with three felony counts of harboring and conspiracy for providing food, water, and a place to sleep to two undocumented men over three days last year. He could serve up to 20 years in prison. interc.pt/2DP9B7D (video: Laura Saunders)
