Now, he&#8217;s also \u2063drawing the ire of\u200c police organizations for his connections to a group that glorifies cop killers as &#8220;freedom fighters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Five police unions, representing a \u2062staggering 280,000 officers, are urging senators\u200b to \u2064reject Mangi&#8217;s \u2064nomination for \u200cthe Third Circuit Court\u2062 of Appeals. Their \u200dmain concern stems from\u2062 his position on the advisory board of the \u2062Alliance of\u2064 Families\u200c for Justice.<\/p>\n<p>The National Sheriffs&#8217; Association, which represents over 3,000 sheriffs nationwide, expressed their deep concern, stating, &#8220;The\u2064 fact that\u200d Mr. Mangi aligns himself with an organization advocating for \u200bthe release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bob-casey-wont-say-if-hell-vote-for-biden-nominee-linked-to-anti-israel-anti-police-groups\/\" title=\"Bob Casey refuses to disclose stance on Biden nominee tied to anti-Israel, anti-police organizations\">convicted cop-killers<\/a> is seriously disturbing.&#8221; They further added that Mangi&#8217;s affiliation with the Alliance raises concerns about \u200dpotential \u200cbias against victims and law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2062Alliance of Families for \u2064Justice has faced\u200d criticism for its support of convicted cop killers. Mangi joined the left-wing\u2063 group in 2019 and is still \u2064listed as an advisory board member. In \u20642021, the Alliance called for\u200d the parole of six former black nationalists who were \u2064serving \u2064life\u2062 sentences for murdering police\u200d officers. The group refers\u2063 to them as\u200d &#8220;elder freedom fighters&#8221; who were allegedly set \u200bup by the FBI.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy Boudin, a member of the terrorist\u200d group Weather Underground, served on the Alliance&#8217;s\u200d board \u200duntil her death in 2022. Boudin\u2062 was convicted of murdering two\u200b New York\u2064 police officers during an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/historic-biden-judicial-nominee-sits-on-board-of-group-founded-by-cop-killing-domestic-terrorist\/\" title=\"Biden's nominee linked to group founded by cop-killing terrorist\">armored truck robbery<\/a> in 1981. The Alliance of Families for Justice even \u200cestablished a \u200cfellowship in her name last year.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition from police groups could add pressure\u2062 on\u200d swing-state Democrats to vote against Mangi. If confirmed, he\u200c would\u2064 have jurisdiction over federal cases in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and\u2064 Delaware. Republicans are\u2064 already against him due to his advisory \u2064board position with an anti-Israel think\u2063 tank that \u200chosted anti-Semites and a convicted terrorist\u200b on the anniversary of 9\/11.<\/p>\n<p>The conservative Judicial Crisis Network has launched ad campaigns targeting Democratic Senators Bob Casey, Jon Tester,\u2062 and Sherrod Brown, urging \u200cthem \u200dto vote against Mangi. The White House has accused\u2062 Republicans of &#8220;Islamophobia&#8221; for opposing Mangi, who\u200b would be the first Muslim to serve on\u200d a federal appeals court.<\/p>\n<p>Letters \u200bfrom police groups\u2062 opposing Mangi&#8217;s nomination were released by Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee. However, \u2063a \u2062confirmation vote date has not \u200cbeen set.<\/p>\n<p>The National Association of Police Organizations, representing 241,000 \u200dpolice \u200dofficers, stated \u2063that Mangi&#8217;s association with a group that \u200dglorifies unrepentant killers is deeply concerning. The New Jersey State Policemen&#8217;s Benevolent\u2064 Association, with 32,000 members, believes that Mangi&#8217;s leadership and association\u2063 with the Alliance of\u2063 Families for Justice would compromise his impartiality in dealing with law enforcement officers.<\/p>\n<p>Mangi has \u200byet\u2062 to respond to \u2064requests for comment regarding his\u2062 role \u200bat the \u200bAlliance of Families for Justice, and the group itself has remained silent as\u200d well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What concerns have been raised\u2064 by pro-Israel \u200corganizations regarding Adeel Mangi&#8217;s\u2064 affiliation with the New York \u200dUniversity Center\u2063 for the \u2063Study\u2063 of Law\u200b and Security? How does this affiliation raise questions about his ability to make fair judgments on cases involving Israeli interests?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  E officers. The group argued that these individuals\u2063 were &#8220;political prisoners&#8221; and should be released as a form of social justice. This stance has been met with\u200c widespread \u200bcondemnation, with many viewing it as a\u2062 glorification of violence against law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>The police unions\u2063 are not the only ones voicing their concerns about Mangi&#8217;s affiliations. Pro-Israel organizations have also criticized his connection to\u2062 the anti-Israel think\u2062 tank, the New York University Center for the \u2062Study of Law and Security. This think\u2063 tank has been accused of promoting anti-Israel rhetoric and supporting the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which\u2063 seeks to put economic\u200d pressure on Israel. Critics argue\u2063 that Mangi&#8217;s involvement with this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/idf-exposes-al-jazeera-journalist-who-moonlights-as-hamas-commander\/\" title=\"IDF reveals Al-Jazeera journalist's secret role as Hamas commander\">organization raises questions<\/a>\u2063 about his impartiality and ability \u2063to make fair judgments\u200d on cases\u2064 involving Israeli interests.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy surrounding Adeel Mangi&#8217;s associations has brought into focus the issue of judicial\u2063 nominees and their affiliations with controversial groups. While it is important to respect individuals&#8217; freedom of association, it is\u2064 also crucial to evaluate \u2063the potential impact of these affiliations on their ability to serve impartially and\u200c uphold the principles of justice.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 police \u2063unions and pro-Israel organizations are not calling for Mangi&#8217;s disqualification\u2063 solely based on his affiliations, but rather on the concern that these affiliations may affect his judgment\u2064 and impartiality. They argue that a judge should be free from any potential\u2062 biases that could compromise their ability to \u200bmake fair and just decisions.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the backlash,\u200c Mangi has \u200cdefended his \u2064affiliations, stating that they do \u200dnot reflect his personal views or beliefs. He\u2064 has emphasized the importance of judicial neutrality and vowed to \u200duphold \u2063the rule of law if\u200b confirmed as a judge.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate Judiciary Committee is\u200b currently reviewing Mangi&#8217;s nomination, and it is essential that they \u2062carefully\u2063 consider the concerns raised by the police unions and\u200d pro-Israel organizations. The Senate has a crucial\u200d role in confirming judicial nominees \u200bwho will protect the interests\u2064 of\u200d all Americans and ensure the fair administration\u2062 of justice.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital for the Senate to thoroughly examine Mangi&#8217;s record and\u2064 determine whether his affiliations raise legitimate \u200dconcerns\u2063 about his ability to serve as an impartial and fair judge. While individuals have\u2063 the right to hold their own beliefs and associations, it is crucial for \u200cjudges to be\u200b free from \u2062any potential biases \u200dthat could undermine the integrity \u200bof the judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b controversy surrounding Adeel \u200cMangi should serve\u200d as a\u2062 reminder of the importance of\u200b thorough \u200dvetting\u2062 and \u200bevaluation of judicial nominees. The Senate must uphold its duty to ensure \u200dthat\u2064 individuals appointed to the \u200bbench possess the necessary qualities of impartiality, fairness, and respect for the\u200c rule of law.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An anti-Israel think tank.
