The White House is intensifying its defense of Adeel Mangi, a Muslim American judicial nominee facing criticism. Senate Republicans and law enforcement support Mangi, while Democrats accuse critics of Islamophobia. Some Democratic senators are concerned about Mangi's ties to certain groups, jeopardizing his confirmation.

The Biden Administration is urged to withdraw Mangi's nomination due to concerns over his affiliations.
