TUCSON – Volunteers for a humanitarian aid group are accusing Border Patrol agents of breaking policy and sabotaging thousands of gallons of water.

No More Deaths operates out of private property near Arivaca. They plant water, food and other supplies to help (illegal) border crossers throughout the region. They captured trail camera video that appears to show agents slashing water jugs and removing other aid last year.

Caitlin Deighan has been volunteering for the group more than 2 years.
"It can be very shocking, the thought of somebody stabbing water and destroying a water source," she said. "To me that's explicitly a murderous action."

Agent Christopher Sullivan works in Border Patrol's public affairs office and said agents have been ordered not to tamper with aid items.
"We just leave it as it is," Sullivan said, "as it could be life-saving for someone."

He said people should notify the agency if they see any violations of the policy, so they can take the proper corrective action.
"It's on a case by case basis," Sullivan said, "depending on the circumstances, every case is different."

No More Deaths has been documenting their water supplies the past 3 years. Volunteers say 3,586 jugs were vandalized. They say other people are responsible, but Border Patrol agents cause most of the damage.

Sullivan said drug smugglers often use the supplies, and other migrants could end up in worse situations if the aid gives them the ability to travel farther north.

"We are also a humanitarian agency," Sullivan said. "If someone needs help, regardless what country of citizenship they are from, regardless of their criminal history, we're going to do our job to make sure that person receives proper medical care."
