Immigrant rights advocate Walter Staton convicted for littering Arizona desert

A federal jury in Tucson, Arizona has convicted No More Death volunteer Walter Staton for “knowingly littering” when he placed gallon jugs of water along heavily traveled migrant trails.

Thousands of migrants have died along the US Mexico border since the 1990s when border enforcement policies shifted migration corridors to increasingly remote locations like the Buenos Aires Wildlife Refuge in Southwest Arizona.
