Don’t let the good looks fool you…
Of course, most Americans are already aware that Alina Habba is just one of the many personal lawyers to our president. Yet more than a few Americans are unfamiliar with Alina Habba’s personal backstory.
For those who weren’t aware, as reported by Hannan Adely of NorthJersey.com on Dec. 10, 2024 (via YahooNews.com);
Habba, 40, a mother of three from Summit, has described herself as “a devout Catholic, a proud first-generation Arab American woman and a feisty Jersey girl.” She is a Chaldean Catholic, and her family has roots in Iraq.
On a personal note, there are 23 “Rites” (Churches) within Catholicism, ranging from the Ruthenian rite of Slavic Eastern Europe, to the Ge’ez rite of Ethiopia, to the Malabar rite of Kerala, India. I’ve attended the Chaldean Liturgy, which was sung in the ancient Aramaic tongue. You know… the language spoken by Christ, the Blessed Mother and the Apostles. It was literally awe inspiring.

But back to the topic at hand.
Upon Pres. Trump naming Habba as the Interim US Attorney for the District of New Jersey, she left little doubt as to the who, what, where and why she’ll be paying rather close attention to.
As reported by Ella Lee of TheHill.com (emphasis mine);
Speaking with reporters after the announcement, Habba said “corruption” and “injustice” in the state would be stopped under her leadership, name-checking Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) as having “failed the state.”
“I look forward to working with Pam Bondi with the Department of Justice and making sure that we further the president’s agenda of putting America first, cleaning up mess and going after the people that we should be going after, not the people that are falsely accused,” she said. “That will stop in the great state of New Jersey, starting now.”
The decision comes days after a federal judge transferred the case of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University alum and green-card holder detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), to the Garden State. The office Habba now leads is expected to handle the Khalil’s prosecution.
