Adeel A. Mangi faces attacks for ties to groups representing Muslim law students and incarcerated individuals. The White House calls it a smear campaign.
Circuit Court Judge Nominee Adeel Abdullah Mangi testifies during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on judicial nominations at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 13, 2023. President Biden’s pick to be the first Muslim American appeals court judge appears to be in jeopardy after a third Democratic senator came out against him Wednesday, part of a groundswell of opposition over the nominee’sthe Nevada Independent that she would not support Adeel A.
“Some Senate Republicans and their extreme allies are relentlessly smearing Adeel Mangi with baseless accusations that he is anti-police,” White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients said in a statement. “That could not be further from the truth, and the close to a dozen law enforcement organizations that have endorsed him agree.”

Priya Purandare, executive director of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, also expressed support for Mangi in a statement. “The baseless attacks against Mr. Mangi have a chilling effect,” she said. “If left unanswered, the nation runs the risk of losing a generation of talent who shares Mr. Mangi’s faith from entering public service and the opportunity to compose a federal bench that reflects the changing demographics of the United States. History will remember this moment.
