(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 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.
