Biden’s nominee linked to group founded by cop-killing terrorist
President Joe Biden’s Historic Judicial Nominee with Ties to Radical Groups
President Joe Biden’s latest judicial nominee, Adeel Abdullah Mangi, is making headlines not only for his Muslim faith but also for his affiliation with left-wing organizations tied to convicted cop killers. Mangi, who has been tapped to serve on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, sits on the advisory board of the Alliance of Families for Justice, a group formed in 2016 with Weather Underground member Kathy Boudin as a founding director. Boudin pleaded guilty to the murder of two police officers and a security guard during an armored truck robbery in 1981.
The Alliance of Families for Justice, where Mangi has been involved since 2019, has organized events advocating for the release of Black Panther and Black Liberation Army members serving life sentences for murdering police officers. The group refers to these cop killers as “freedom fighters” and claims they were unfairly targeted by the FBI.
Mangi’s association with these radical groups raises concerns about his nomination and potential conflicts of interest. The Third Circuit has previously heard appeals related to Mumia Abu-Jamal, a convicted cop killer, whose death sentence was overturned in 2011. Additionally, Mangi served on the advisory board for Rutgers Law School’s Center for Race, Security, and Rights, an anti-Israel organization that supports boycotts against Israel.
During his confirmation hearing, Mangi distanced himself from these groups and downplayed his involvement. However, critics, including Senator Josh Hawley, argue that his affiliations reflect a pattern of radical and unqualified judicial nominees under President Biden.
It remains to be seen how these revelations will impact Mangi’s nomination, but they certainly raise questions about his suitability for the federal appeals court. The White House has yet to comment on the matter.
Affiliation with Radical Groups and Controversial Figures
Mangi’s connection to the Alliance of Families for Justice is not the only cause for concern. The organization has also embraced other left-wing activists and advocated for extreme positions on the criminal justice system. Notably, Marxist activist Angela Davis, a former FBI “Most Wanted” fugitive, was a keynote speaker at the Alliance of Families for Justice’s inaugural lecture series in honor of Kathy Boudin.
The group has also hosted events in support of the “prison abolition movement,” which seeks to shut down all prisons. These radical positions further raise doubts about Mangi’s alignment with mainstream judicial values.
Despite these revelations, Mangi maintains that he was unaware of certain events and downplays his involvement. However, critics argue that his lack of awareness raises questions about his judgment and suitability for a federal judgeship.
As the controversy surrounding Mangi’s nomination continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the Senate and the public will respond to these troubling associations.
Should Kathy Boudin’s guilty plea for the murder of two police officers disqualify anyone associated with the Alliance of Families for Justice from holding positions within the judicial system?
T. It is crucial to carefully examine the background of judicial nominees to ensure that they adhere to the principles and values of justice and impartiality.
Adeel Abdullah Mangi’s affiliation with left-wing organizations tied to convicted cop killers is deeply concerning. The fact that he sits on the advisory board of the Alliance of Families for Justice, an organization founded by a member of the Weather Underground, raises questions about his judgment and ability to fairly interpret and uphold the law.
Kathy Boudin, the founding director of the Alliance of Families for Justice, pleaded guilty to the murder of two police officers and a security guard during an armored truck robbery in 1981. This heinous crime should be enough to disqualify anyone associated with it from holding a position of power within the judicial system.
Furthermore, the Alliance of Families for Justice, in which Mangi has been involved since 2019, actively advocates for the release of Black Panther and Black Liberation Army members who are serving life sentences for murdering police officers. The group goes as far as referring to these cop killers as “freedom fighters,” disregarding the fact that they committed acts of violence and took innocent lives. The claims made by the organization, suggesting that these individuals were unfairly targeted by the FBI, are baseless and undermine the credibility of their cause.
It is essential to question Mangi’s judgment and impartiality when considering his potential role as a judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The association with radical groups raises concerns about his ability to make fair and unbiased decisions. The role of a judge is to uphold the law and ensure justice for all, regardless of personal affiliations or ideological leanings.
While religious freedom is a fundamental right, it should not overshadow the need for any judicial nominee to distance themselves from extremist organizations or individuals with a history of violence. It is incumbent upon President Biden and the Senate Judiciary Committee to thoroughly scrutinize Mangi’s background and affiliations, ensuring that he is the right fit for our judicial system.
The nomination of Adeel Abdullah Mangi should be subject to intense scrutiny, given his ties to radical groups and their rhetoric glorifying cop killers. This nomination raises valid concerns about the potential conflicts of interest and impartiality that could undermine the integrity of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. As citizens, it is our duty to demand transparency and accountability from our leaders, especially when it comes to appointing individuals who will have a profound impact on our judicial system and the principles of justice it upholds.
