The United States Senate has confirmed civil rights lawyer Nusrat Choudhury as a federal judge. She now makes history as the first Muslim female and Bangladeshi-American federal judge in the history of the American country. The US Senate confirmed its decision last Thursday, June, 13, and she is scheduled to assume the position on June 22.

Nusrat Choudhury will serve in the Federal Court of Brooklyn later this month. The news has been well-received by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In this organization, Choudhury worked to challenge the New York Police Department’s stop-and-frisk practices which were discriminatory against Muslim Americans after 9/11.

On one hand, Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer, voted in favor of her getting the position. He also stated that Choudhury has “experience as a talented and dedicated civil rights litigator, has prepared her to serve with integrity and professionalism on the federal bench, and she will follow the facts and administer justice with fairness and a deep respect for the rule of law.” In addition, ACLU’s Executive Director, Anthony Romero stated:

Nusrat Choudhury is a trailblazing civil rights lawyer with a remarkable record of advancing equal justice for all in our nation. The confirmation is an exclamation point on her long track record of protecting civil liberties and civil rights.

On the other hand, some Senate Republicans voted against her becoming a federal judge. According to them, she has given inconsistent explanations regarding her remarks about police officers, as the lawyer has said officers “kill unarmed African American men every day.” Eventually, Choudhury would apologize for her words and affirmed that her statement was “inconsistent.”

The objectives of Nusrat Choudhury meet Joe Biden’s expectations to prioritize inclusion and diversity of backgrounds, races, and gender during his administration in the United States.
