Senate Democrats Block Biden's Historic Judicial Nominee Amid Islamophobic Attacks

Three Senate Democrats have joined Republicans in opposing the nomination of Adeel Mangi, potentially the first Muslim American on the U.S. Court of Appeals, citing politically motivated reasons.

Adeel Mangi's nomination for the U.S. Court of Appeals was initially celebrated for his qualifications and potential to be the first Muslim American in the role.
Republicans quickly manufactured objections to Mangi's nomination, citing unfounded claims of anti-terrorism and anti-police stances, fueled by Islamophobia.
Three Senate Democrats have unexpectedly opposed Mangi's nomination, complicating the confirmation process and highlighting political maneuvering.
Mangi has received widespread support from various organizations, including law enforcement groups and civil rights organizations, countering the claims against him.
The opposition to Mangi's nomination reflects broader issues of Islamophobia and political strategy in the judicial confirmation process.
