A judge has overturned the convictions of four women who left water and other supplies for migrants in the deserts of Arizona.
USA Today reported that the judge in Tucson, Ariz. reversed convictions for the four women, who are volunteers with a migrant advocacy group called No More Deaths and faced up to 6 months in prison and fines of $500.
U.S. District Judge Rosemary Marquez wrote that the government was stifling the women's religious beliefs by arresting them and charging them for providing humanitarian aid.
"Defendants met their burden of establishing that their activities were exercises of their sincere religious beliefs, and the Government failed to demonstrate that application of the regulations against Defendants is the least restrictive means of accomplishing a compelling interest," the judge wrote, according to USA Today.
No More Deaths celebrated the overturned convictions.
"The reversal of convictions is a victory for all people of conscience and righteousness who seek to end the death and suffering in the borderlands," a member of the group, Alicia Dinsmore, told USA Today. "People continue to die every day on Cabeza Prieta and we will continue to act on our moral imperative to do this vital work."

But you better gawd damn bake the cake.
“...four women who left water and other supplies for migrants...”
four women who left water and other supplies for ILLEGAL ALIENS....
There...Fixed it...
Who appointed her? Clinton or Obama?
What about if a person had religious convictions to take action against activist judges? Is that OK too? Just trying to understand the terms here.
81-15 confirmation vote, and unfortunately, she's young (age 51).
Nominated by Barack Obama on January 6, 2014, to a seat
vacated by Frank R. Zapata. Confirmed by the Senate on
May 15, 2014, and received commission on May 19, 2014.
Why baraaaak obammy of course.
Obama judge.
Sex-trafficking enablers, or "accessories after the fact to sex-trafficking"...
Pres. Trump’s EPA should fine them biggly for littering.
The ILLEGAL ALIENS are still people in need emergency supplies. It truly bewilders me how anyone could refuse to provide sustenance to anyone in need. The legal issue can be dealt with later. Who governs you? Jesus or Himmler?
I just realized that we can now refer to 0bama judge Rosemary Marquez as “the sex-trafficking judge”.
If religion advances a liberal cause, the government will approve it. If religion blocks a liberal cause, the government will rule it illegal.
Aiding and abetting sex traffickers.
You OK with that, GingisK?
We could have hundreds of our judges on the bench, and all you need is one of these.
Ummm... Personally, I would have called their actions littering.

Hmmm ... DRUG SMUGGLERS are still people in need of emergency supplies.
I’m still not sure that you simply forgot your sarcasm tag.
I don’t believe I said a word about NOT giving water or food...I corrected the sentence declaring them MIGRANTS...
A migrant is a person legally admitted to our country.
An illegal alien is a person who has broken American laws...
What about that do you not understand???
