In the next few weeks, the Senate Judiciary Committee will vote to confirm a radical nominee to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Adeel Abdullah Mangi has a long list of ties to organizations that support terrorist activities, the LGBT movement, and religious discrimination. Concerned Women for America joined coalition members on a letter to Congress opposing his nomination, but Senators also need to hear from their voters about why Mangi does not deserve to be a Federal judge.

 

From 2019 to 2023, Mangi served on an advisory board at Rutgers Law School’s Center for Security, Race, and Rights. During that time, the Center hosted a number of antisemitic events. One such event was on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and featured convicted Palestinian terrorists as guest speakers. The Center also hosted events with titles like “Mobilizing International Law and Social Movements in the Palestinian Struggle for Justice,” “Settler Colonialism, Race, and the Law: Why Structural Racism Persists,” and “White Christian Privilege: The Illusion of Religious Equality in America,” all while Mangi sat on the advisory board. 

 

Another organization supported by Mangi is Muslims for Progressive Values (MPV), an organization that champions abortion and pushes radical gender ideology. From 2018 to 2020, Mangi served on their Board of Directors. Despite claiming to be a religious organization, MPV wrote an amicus brief in the Masterpiece Cakeshop decision. They argued that baker Jack Philips should be forced to violate his religious beliefs and create wedding cakes for LGBT couples. They also submitted a brief in the Dobbs case, urging the Supreme Court to protect the nationwide access to abortion. 

 

In addition, Mangi currently serves on the advisory board of Alliance of Families for Justice, an organization founded in part by a convicted cop killer, Kathy Boudin. In 2021, the organization held an event that advocated for the release of six other cop killers, calling them “freedom fighters.”

 

Mangi’s long list of radical associations indicates that if appointed, he will not fight to protect life, the dignity of marriage, or religious freedom. Urge your Senator to vote no on Mangi's confirmation.
