Woman arrested in protest seeks dismissal of ‘seldom-invoked’ anti-rioting charge
MOBILE, Alabama (WALA) A woman charged under a rarely used federal anti-riot law is scheduled to go on trial next month, but first a judge will have to decide whether to throw the charges out.
A federal grand jury indicted Tia Deyon Pugh in June after Mobile police had arrested her on allegations that she smashed the window of an unoccupied police SUV during a protest in downtown Mobile on May 31.
The defense has argued that “seldom-invoked” statute exceeds the federal government’s authority under the Commerce Clause by intruding on purely local matters that have noting to do with cross-state commerce.

Stuff even if given funding immediately, it will not be able to find doctors in time to stay open. The decision to close overnight had been made in the face of mounting pressure, staff burnout and “spiralling clinical risk”, Armstrong earlier said. “We can no longer provide a safe and high-quality overnight operation.”
Lack of funding, burnout contributes to urgent care clinic halting overnight service
A busy Auckland urgent care clinic is stopping its overnight service, at the same time as Middlemore Hospital tells people to use urgent care to take the stress off its emergency department.
East Care has been running an overnight service in Botany for 24 years but says it can no longer afford to stay open past 11pm.
Chief executive Gordon Armstrong said it was the busiest overnight GP clinic in Auckland, seeing a third of all night time patients in the past quarter.
But it got no funding the Counties Manukau District Health Board for the service and couldn t afford to keep running it, he said.
