Mississippi conservatives are demanding answers after Ridgeland immigration attorney Assma A. Ali announced that she had been selected to serve as a municipal court judge, a history-making appointment celebrated by supporters as the first of its kind for a Yemeni-American Muslim woman who wears a hijab.
Amy Mek, Founder & Editor-in-Chief of RAIR Foundation, pushed the controversy into the national spotlight, accusing red-state officials of surrendering a “final firewall” and arguing that Ali’s immigration work and political associations deserve scrutiny.
She wrote on X:
Red State Mississippi just appointed America’s first Yemeni Sharia-hijabi judge.
Assma A. Ali – a full-hijab-wearing “immigration” attorney who built her career guiding illegal entrants and visa overstayers onto citizenship paths without ever needing a green card – now sits on the municipal bench.
Within hours, Yemeni community pages were gushing with pride – America is being conquered from within!
This is the same woman who:
• Extracted an “Arab American Heritage Month” proclamation from Republican Governor Tate Reeves
• Publicly defended the jew-hating, Saddam-glorifying, Muslim Brotherhood-linked Amer Ghalib.
He is the Former Hamtramck mayor – whose nomination as U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait collapsed in the Senate in October 2025 amid bipartisan opposition over his record – of COURSE Assma A. Ali was at the hearing to stand with him!
