Biden’s nominee aided anti-police nonprofit amid controversy

Adeel Mangi,⁤ Biden Judicial Nominee, Linked to Radical Left-Wing Groups

Adeel ⁢Mangi, President Joe⁣ Biden’s nominee for the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, is facing scrutiny for ‌his involvement with a controversial think tank and another radical left-wing group.

Mangi served on the board of the Legal⁤ Aid Society of New York from 2017 to 2021. While the organization is known for representing indigent clients, it has also been involved in campaigns to defund the police and shut down U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

In June 2020, the Legal Aid Society urged supporters​ to “join the movement to #DefundNYPD” and promoted a⁤ “March to Defund ⁣the⁤ NYPD” rally. In 2021, the organization called on the​ Biden administration to “end immigration detention”⁢ and for a ‍”moratorium” on all‌ deportations for one year. The group’s⁤ actions have raised concerns, as they helped release prisoners from Rikers Island, including individuals charged with serious crimes.

Mangi’s affiliation with the Legal Aid Society, which has not been widely reported, could complicate his confirmation⁣ process. As the first ‍Muslim nominee for a federal appellate court, he already faced a close party-line vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

During his confirmation hearing, Senate Republicans criticized Mangi for his‍ advisory​ board position at the Rutgers Law School‌ Center for Security, Race and Rights.⁤ The group hosted an event ⁣featuring a convicted terrorist financier and made controversial statements about Israel. While Mangi claimed he was unaware ‌of the event and opposes terrorism,⁣ he refused ​to condemn the center or its​ anti-Israel rhetoric.

Additionally, Mangi serves on the⁤ advisory board of the Alliance ‍of Families for Justice, which has advocated for the parole of black nationalists convicted of killing police officers. The group was founded ⁣by Kathy Boudin, a former member​ of⁢ the terrorist group Weather Underground, ⁣who was involved in⁣ the murder of two New York police ​officers.

These affiliations with left-wing groups have raised⁤ concerns about Mangi’s suitability for a lifetime judicial appointment. Critics argue that ‍his ​involvement with organizations that promote anti-Israel views, defunding the police, and⁤ advocating for the release of convicted cop killers makes ⁣him unfit for the role.

Despite these ‌concerns, Mangi’s views​ on these issues remain unclear as he did⁢ not address them‌ during the confirmation process. Republican senators did ‌not question him about his positions with the Legal Aid Society or the Alliance of Families‌ for Justice.

Furthermore, it has been revealed that Mangi has made financial contributions to the Legal Aid ⁤Society, donating between $1,000 and $4,999 in 2018 and 2021.

As the confirmation process continues, Mangi’s connections to these radical left-wing groups will likely be a focal point of debate.

What steps should the Senate ​Judiciary Committee take to thoroughly⁢ vet Mangi’s associations and⁢ determine his ⁣suitability for a lifetime appointment to the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals

Th violent crimes, under the ​pretext of COVID-19 safety measures.

Furthermore, ⁢Mangi’s ‌affiliation with the⁢ Brennan Center⁤ for Justice, a think‌ tank at New York University, has also raised eyebrows. The Brennan Center⁣ has been ‍widely criticized for its leftist agenda and ⁤its efforts to reshape the judicial system to fit ⁣its ideology.⁤ It has advocated for policies such as ending cash bail, expanding voting rights for convicted felons, and limiting the powers ‌of ⁢law enforcement agencies.

The Brennan Center’s positions on these issues​ align with ⁤the progressive agenda of the radical left-wing groups‍ that Mangi has been associated with. These‌ connections raise concerns about his impartiality and ability to interpret the law objectively.

As a judicial nominee, it‍ is ⁣crucial to approach cases with ‍fairness and impartiality, weighing​ the ‍evidence and the law⁤ to make‍ informed decisions. However, Mangi’s past associations suggest a clear bias towards the radical left-wing ideology, which may undermine his ability to be impartial.

The role of a judge is not to promote a political agenda but to interpret and apply the law. The American people deserve judges who uphold the Constitution and rule according to its principles, rather than promoting radical ideologies.

Mangi’s connections to ‍these controversial left-wing groups must​ be thoroughly examined ​during the confirmation process. The Senate Judiciary Committee has ⁤a duty to thoroughly⁣ vet judicial nominees to ensure they‍ will uphold the principles of justice‍ and fairness.

In conclusion, Adeel Mangi’s involvement ‌with radical left-wing groups raises concerns⁢ about his ability to be an impartial judge. His affiliations with organizations that advocate for defunding the police, ending immigration enforcement, and reshaping the judicial system according to a progressive agenda undermine ⁤the principles of justice and fairness. The⁣ Senate Judiciary Committee must carefully scrutinize his⁢ associations and ‍determine if ⁢he is suitable for ⁢a‍ lifetime appointment to the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The American people deserve judges who ​will interpret and apply the law‌ objectively, without bias or political agenda.
