President Donald Trump has officially nominated Alina Habba, his former personal attorney, to serve a full four-year term as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. Habba has gained attention for her role in prosecuting local officials, including the arrest of a sanctuary city mayor related to migrant detention issues. The nomination is part of a broader submission of 14 U.S. attorney nominations sent to the Senate, which also includes Arch Moore Capito for the Southern District of West Virginia. However, the nomination has drawn criticism from New Jersey's two Democratic senators, Cory Booker and Andy Kim, who stated that Habba "does not meet the standard to serve" and have expressed strong opposition to her confirmation. They argue that Habba has "degraded" the U.S. Attorney's Office and emphasized the need for a U.S. Attorney who will impartially pursue justice and ensure community safety. The nomination is expected to lead to a contentious confirmation process in the Senate.
