Joe Biden nominated Nusrat Jahan Choudhury as a US District Court Judge on January 19, 2022. Her nomination was returned to Biden on January 3, 2023, thanks in large part to the efforts of FLORIDA FAMILY ASSOCIATION, who organized an email campaign voicing opposition to this nominee. More than 14,000 emails were sent to the 100 US Senators.
Middle East Eye published an article titled “US Muslims, especially designated terrorist group CAIR, react to Biden’s nomination of first Muslim woman to be federal judge.”
Muslims across the United States are celebrating President Joe Biden’s judicial nomination of Nusrat Choudhury, who, if confirmed by the Senate, will be the first Muslim woman to be appointed as a US federal judge. Choudhury, a Bangladeshi American among the eight nominees announced by the White House on 19 January, is the legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Illinois, a position she has held since 2020. Before that, she served as the deputy director of the national ACLU’s racial justice programme, following a stint as a senior staff attorney for the organization’s national security project.
In a statement by CAIR Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell, Esq:
“We welcome President Biden’s historic nomination of Nusrat Choudhury to serve as a federal district court judge. We urge the Senate Judiciary Committee to swiftly consider her nomination.”
“As an American Muslim civil rights attorney, Nusrat Chaudhury’s unique experience defending minority communities from discriminatory policies and national security abuses would broaden the prospective of the federal district court.
“We look forward to seeing more American Muslims serve at every level of government during President Biden’s tenure, including – as he pledged during his campaign – in the Cabinet.”
Choudhry’s ACLU profile also notes that she has worked on several issues of high importance to the American Muslim community, including:
- Helping to secure “the first federal court ruling striking down the U.S. government’s No Fly List procedures for violating due process.”
- Filing “litigation to challenge the NYPD’s unjustified and discriminatory profiling of Muslims for surveillance, which resulted in a court-ordered settlement agreement, and to secure public records about the FBI’s racial and ethnic mapping program.”
- Leading “litigation to protect immigrants from dangerous detention conditions and serves as counsel for community organizations.” enforcing a federal consent decree to reform Chicago police patterns of excessive force.”
- Advancing “efforts to challenge racial profiling and unlawful stop-and-frisk, the targeting of people of color for surveillance without evidence of wrongdoing, and practices that disproportionately punish people for being poor.”
Kentucky Senator John Kennedy grilled this Muslim nominee over her virulent hatred for police and law enforcement.
Nusrat Choudhury was a litigator in the first legal challenge to the United States No Fly List which protects millions of airline passengers from potential terror attacks every day.
FLORIDA FAMILY ASSOCIATION The Middle East Eye report states in part: She also challenged the No-Fly List of the US government, a database that government agencies use to decide who is allowed to board flights. In 2012 Choudhury was the litigator in the first federal lawsuit challenging the No-Fly List procedures.
The No Fly List lawsuit filed by terror-linked Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is still being litigated in the United States District Court of Maryland even though the 4th US Circuit of Appeals upheld the Terror Watchlist against the same “due process” challenge in June 2021.
Florida Family Association sent out two email alerts starting on February 13, 2022 to encourage people to send emails to urge the members of the United States Senate Judiciary Committee to oppose Choudhury’s nomination.
On May 26, 2022 Congress.gov reported “Committee on the Judiciary. Ordered to be reported favorably. Reported by Senator Durbin, Committee on the Judiciary, without printed report. Placed on Senate Executive Calendar. Calendar No. 970.”
Florida Family Association sent out three more email alerts up until November 2022 which encouraged people to send emails to urge all 100 United States Senators to oppose the nomination of anti-public safety Muslim activist Nusrat Choudhury. Nearly 14,000 emails were sent to all 100 United States Senators.
On January 3, 2023 Congress.gov reported “Returned to the President under the provisions of Senate Rule XXXI, paragraph 6 of the Standing Rules of the Senate.”
Although the Senate Judiciary Committee allegedly voted her nomination out of committee the full United States Senate did NOT hold a vote for her nomination during the six months that followed including the safe weeks to vote on controversy after the November 2022 election.
Hopefully, Florida Family Association’s email alerts helped influence enough United States Senators to withhold their support that the full senate declined to vote to confirm the nomination of this radical Islamist to the federal court.
Florida Family Association will watch the United States Senate calendar for future nominations.
Not surprisingly, far-left Jewish Senator and majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) formally recommended this Muslim bitch to serve on the federal bench in New York, calling her an “expert in civil rights and liberties”.
Az gal says
Good work, Sen John Kennedy! No Muslum bitches!
Bioya1 says
Schumer, a leftist and self-hating, suicidal Jew, likes her. That is plenty reason to vote NO.
Jack Rider says
Sen. Kennedy’s reference to Choudery’s words at a conference caused her to be extremely evasive and to not answer his question. as she could not defend her statements, she said she did not remember making them and then she said it was only her rhetoric in the context of advocacy. so what comes out of her mouth is something that cannot be relied on to reflect what her true convictions are. she may be an academic achiever but that does not mean she is intellectually honest. she is constrained by an activist perspective and probably a marxist world view. someone like her would only use their position on the bench to warp constitutional jurisprudence to produce outcomes consistent with her personal political views. her nomination is not unique because there is an army of sponsors who are tasked with putting forward such people for the judicial bench and also for leadership of governmental administrative agencies. the goal is to twist our constitutional governance from the inside in order to achieve their marxist goals.and that schumer is such an idiot as he declares her appointment will show to other bengali immigrants that this country welcomes them. that is not a reason to hold high office! geez quit the identity politics already.

The Communists in our country (the Democrat Party and their leadership) are hell bent to eliminate our precious Constitution and destroy our country ! I pray God’s protection over the true Patriots in the USA who fight to protect our God-given rights and freedom!

Thank God!
