AJO, Ariz. — Ever since federal agents arrested a local activist for helping two illegal immigrants in this parched desert town near the Mexican border last year, residents are thinking twice about being good Samaritans.
“I guess I’ll have to start asking for ID if I want to give anyone a glass of water,” said Jose Castillo, 80, who has lived his whole life in this former copper mining enclave, where temperatures top 110 degrees in summer.
The retired mechanic belongs to Ajo Samaritans, a local Catholic aid organization that often leaves jugs of water in the desert for Central American migrants who trek over punishing terrain, dotted with cactus and brush, after illegally crossing the Mexican border 43 miles to the south.
“At every community meeting I go to, people now ask if they are going to go to jail for helping the migrants,” Castillo told The Post. “Now, everyone is waiting to see what happens with Scott.”
Local resident Scott Warren, 36, was arrested Jan. 17, 2018, by Border Patrol agents on the outskirts of Ajo, charged with conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal immigrants. Warren claims he was just providing two migrants with food, water and a place to sleep for a few nights.

Women like this make me vomit.
Anybody who helps the parasitic invaders should be dealt with harshly.
What about the men in the picture? Do they make you vomit?
How about some equal opportunity vomiting, you sexist!
…………” a local Catholic aid organization that often leaves jugs of water”
Bingo! There it is ……………… Catholic aid ! The Catholic Church(s) are all about the money. They get Federal money for proving and encouraging Illegals to break our laws and enter our Country ….. ILLEGALLY!
Catholics are and always have been focused one thing ….. MONEY, MONEY, and MO-MONEY! Follow the MONEY!
Not to mention, the more underaged boys coming across, the better for the priests.
Lots of potential candidates for the Mackenzie (ran out of) Lueck award.
Why can't the same be done with certain mayors and police chiefs?
Good.
Them and the Lutherans...just ask Minnesotans.
These people are not good Samaritans. They are domestic enemies of the US Constitution intent on destroying the foundation of the United States and turning us into a 3rd world banana republic.

“charged with conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal immigrants.”
Ok, clear.
“Warren claims he was just providing two migrants with food, water and a place to sleep for a few nights.””
Ok, that’s transporting and harboring.
Some of the illegal aliens these people have helped may very well be ones who go on to kill American citizens by crime, drunken driving, etc.
Yes. Leaving water is very different from sifting and abetting, harboring, transporting etc..
(Whether it’s a good idea to leave water is a separate issue).
>>>Warren claims he was just providing two migrants with food, water and a place to sleep for a few nights<<<
Migrants? I love how the descriptive word or phrase sneaks into the lexicon.
Abortion is Choice, Globull Warming is Climate Change, Sodomy is PRIDE, Marxism is Democratic Socialism and Illegal Invaders are Migrants.
Boy, the media sure got their directive to use the word “migrant”.
Same.
Some animals are more equal than others.
