The White House is standing its ground in support of Adeel Mangi's nomination for the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, despite calls from Republican critics to withdraw the nomination. Mangi's ties to groups accused of antisemitism and supporting 'cop killers' have come under scrutiny, but the White House remains committed to lobbying Democratic senators for their support.
Mangi's affiliation with the Rutgers University Center for Security, Race and Rights (CSRR) has raised concerns among Republicans due to events and speakers associated with the center. Critics have pointed to controversial speakers like Hatem Bazian and Sami Al-Arian, as well as Noura Erakat, who have been featured at CSRR events.
