Nusrat Choudhury was confirmed Thursday as a federal judge by the US Senate, making history as the first Muslim woman and the first Bangladeshi American to join the federal judicial bench.The vote in the Democrat-led Senate narrowly passed along party lines.President Joe Biden nominated the civil rights attorney in January 2022, along with seven other federal judicial nominees, who, the White House said, continue to fulfill the President's promise to ensure that the nation's court reflects the diversity that is one of our greatest assets as a court both in terms of personal and professional backgrounds.
