Zohran Mamdani announced the nomination of Ramzi Kassem as Chief Counsel of New York City

Zohran Mamdani announced the nomination of Ramzi Kassem as Chief Counsel of New York City.

Kassem returned to America from the Middle East in 2001, inspired by 9/11 to defend an Al Qaeda terrorist.

“I found myself pulled in the direction of doing rights work domestically in the United States, representing Guantanamo and Bagram prisoners.”

One of his most recent clients was Mahmoud Khalil, a Syrian-born terrorist sympathizer who Secretary Rubio attempted to have deported for national security concerns.

Kassem convinced a judge to rule in favor of keeping him on American soil.

The city that was terrorized by Islam 24 years ago will now have an Islamist as its Chief Counsel.
