Subseries 1.1. Trial
Subseries 1.2. Appeal
Subseries 1.3. Arizona Sanctuary Defense Fund

Subseries 1.1. Trial, [1983] 1985-1986.

Extent: 40 folders

Scope and Contents

This subseries consists of documents relating to the arrest and trial of Nicgorski and her co-defendants, and covers the period from January 1985 through July 1986. Although the documents include materials relating to all defendants, the bulk relates to Nicgorski and her specific defense. General legal documents include the grand jury indictment; the government's Bill of Particulars and Discovery Memorandum; the government's Motion in limino; the search warrant for the home of Wendy LeWin; and Judge Carroll's sentencings of the defendants. General planning documents include materials for a July 1985 defense planning meeting in Lake Tahoe, an August 1985 mock trial, jury selection, and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Materials relating specifically to Nicgorski's defense include lists of potential witnesses and witness interviews, an interview of Nicgorski herself, the opening trial statement, and post-conviction sentencing memorandum, all prepared by Michael Altman, her defense counsel, as well as documents provided by the School Sisters of St. Francis. Additional materials relating to Nicgorski alone include permissions for her to travel while awaiting trial, plea offer correspondence prior to the opening of the trial, and post-conviction letters concerning her addressed to Judge Carroll for his consideration when determining her sentence. Materials by Nicgorski herself include her statements to attorneys and the other defendants and her public statements during the trial. The records also include supplementary materials used in the preparation of the defense. These materials include statements by representatives of both the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the American Civil Liberties Union on the Sanctuary movement and United States immigration policy, Nicgorski's report on Guatemalan refugees in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and her affidavits on behalf of Nicaraguan seeking political asylum in the United States. More intimate materials include the lyrics to Woody Guthrie's "Deportees", sung by Sister Judy Connolly before going into court, and a note to Nicgorski from one of the trial jurors, written during the trial, but delivered after sentencing.

Series 9. Audiotapes and videotapes, circa 1980-1993.

Extent: 1 box

Scope and Contents

This series contains audio cassettes and VHS videos relating to Nicgorski and the Sanctuary movement.

The audio cassettes include first-hand accounts from the early 1980s by refugees; several of these originate with the Ixcot [Excot] family, in whose flight and settlement in the United States Nicgorski played a vital role. Other cassettes document Nicgorski's speaking engagements, as well as major Sanctuary conferences, in the years 1985-1987. Of special significance are Nicgorski's reflections on the Arizona Sanctuary Trial, recorded daily on a series of microcassette (for transcripts of these reflections, see above, Series 4, box 2, folder 62). Several cassettes contain interviews given by Nicgorski; significant among these are interviews (on 3 cassettes) by Barbara Bezdek. The cassettes also include the memorial service and funeral liturgy for Nicgorski's friend, Patricia Pechauer, SSSF, who was killed in a traffic accident while attending the Arizona Sanctuary Trial in April 1986. A number of cassettes contain music, including peasant masses from Nicaragua and El Salvador, Spanish-language songs by Cecilia Stanton and Judy Connolly, SSND.

The videotapes include Nicgorski's appearance on the Phil Donohue Show, interviews of Nicgorski and her counsel, Michael Altman, on C-SPAN and the television documentary "Holy Defiance", two Public Broadcasting System documentaries on the Sanctuary movement, and the 1982 Ana Carrigan and Bernard Stone film, Roses in December - the story of Jean Donovan , which Nicgorski often used in her presentations.
