Federal prosecutors will pursue two harboring charges against No More Deaths volunteer Scott Warren after announcing in federal court Tuesday morning that they would drop the charge of criminal conspiracy to transport and harbor illegal aliens.
During the hearing, prosecutors offered an alternative plea deal to Warren, telling him that he would receive time served if he plead guilty to a misdemeanor for aiding and abetting entry without inspection.
The renewed prosecution sets a new trial, slated for November 12. Warren has until 10 days before that trial begins to accept or reject the plea deal. If convicted on both counts, Warren could face a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
"We are ready for this second trial and more prepared than ever," Warren said after the hearing. "However, I as well as most of you, remain unclear what the point of all this effort, time, and money has been. It has been deeply exhausting and troublesome to my friends and family and loved ones. But we have all done our best and we really should take a moment to celebrate that as we prepare for the future."

***(Its all about intimidating humanitarian volunteers, plain and simple. The fabricated charges were filed in retaliation for posting videos of border patrol agents dumping water intended for refugees.)

Depending on what your deeply held religious beliefs cause you to do, you're either a hero to the right for refusing to bake a cake, or you're on trial for a 10 year sentence for welcoming the immigrant.
While I couldn't find anything in the Bible about making pastries for someone you don't approve of, I did find this handy compendium from Sojourners:
