An Orange County religious nonprofit that was penalized and threatened with criminal prosecution by Santa Ana for feeding homeless people now has the support of the U.S. Department of Justice in its ongoing legal battle with the city.After Santa Ana officials ordered the nonprofit, Micah's Way, to stop distributing food and drinks at its resource center - arguing that doing so violated the municipal code - the city denied its certificate of occupancy and warned it could be fined and prosecuted.
