| Follow-up to article posted, oh, a few weeks ago. A federal grand jury Wednesday indicted two Daniel Strauss and Shanti Sellz and the three men were stopped by U.S. Border Patrol agents 25 miles from the border on July 9. Strauss and Sellz, volunteers with the No More The pair told the agents they were taking the men to Tucson's Southside Presbyterian Church because they were vomiting and suffering from bloody diarrhea.If you were really sick, wouldn't you prefer to go to, oh I don't know, perhaps a hospital emergency room? Border Patrol officials have said the men were not ill and refused medical aid once in custody. According to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office, Strauss and Sellz were indicted on one count each of conspiracy to transport an illegal alien and transporting an illegal alien. Strauss, who is from New York, and Sellz, who is from Colorado and New Mexico, will be arraigned Aug. 11. The conspiracy charge carries a 10-year maximum sentence and the transporting charge carries a five-year maximum sentence. Defense attorney Jeffrey Rogers said, "The material witness will testify that he believes my clients saved his life." And if they had helped a couple of bank robbers with bullet wounds, that would be saving their lives, too. It stills falls under aiding and abetting. |

| #4 I hope they can get transferred up to Maricopa county, where they can live in tents (when it's 113 in the shade), wear pink underwear, and eat bologna sandwiches. I'm still surprised that the Red Star would actually call them "illegal entrants," though. |
