Extract

The United States government created and then nourished an ever-growing humanitarian aid crisis over the last twenty-five years in the borderlands of Arizona. Many thousands have perished and many thousands more have suffered unconscionable hardship and horrific abuse as a direct result of this crisis of the government's own making. Making matters excruciatingly worse, recently the Trump administration's Department of Justice escalated the crisis by prosecuting humanitarian aid workers for their life-saving actions.
