Saying they can no longer guarantee a temporary shelter for migrants in Arizona, a humanitarian group closed a medical aid camp for people who cross the border.
The decision comes after Border Patrol agents raided the camp and made arrests, NPR reports.
“Our clinic space being compromised will directly lead to more suffering and more death in this desert,” said aid worker Geena Jackson.
The camp is about 15 miles of the Mexico border and includes water stations, medics and makeshift shelters. A handmade sign now warns migrants that the camp is closed.
Under previous presidents, migrant camps were rarely raided. But President Trump’s administration has done away with past practices in an aggressive crackdown on illegal immigration.
