(Courthouse News) A pro-Palestinian nonprofit asked a Virginia-based federal court to block a records demand Friday, claiming it targets activity protected by the Constitution.
The complaint comes one business day before AJP Educational Foundation Inc., also known as American Muslims for Palestine, will appear before a state judge for a Sept. 29 show cause hearing. The court will decide whether to hold the group in contempt for failing to produce 31 documents and answer 12 interrogatory questions for Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares.
Miyares, a Republican seeking reelection in November, launched the investigation into the Falls Church-based nonprofit on Oct. 31, 2023, weeks after Hamas killed 1,195 people and kidnapped more than 200 in Israel.
