Hung Jury In Trial of Activist For Aiding Aliens

AP reports that a mistrial was declared Tuesday after an Arizona federal court jury was unable to reach a verdict in the prosecution of Scott Warren, a volunteer with the humanitarian group No More Deaths. Warren was charged with concealing and harboring aliens after he offered aid to two migrants near the U.S.-Mexico border. Warren's defenses included a claim that his actions were protected by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. (See prior posting.) [Thanks to Stephanie Inks for the lead.]
