CAIR Calls for Resignation of Louisiana Judge Who Used ‘N-Word’ in Texts About Government Employees
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 2/24/20) – The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called for the resignation of Louisiana judge for using the ‘N-Word’ in texts referring to government employees.
The text messages reportedly show 23rd Judicial District Judge Jessie LeBlanc using the racist term while referring to an African-American deputy and LAW CLERK.

In a statement, CAIR National Communications Coordinator Ayan Ajeen said:
“We call on Judge LeBlanc to resign because her use of racist and derogatory language would indicate that any judgement she makes could be colored by racial bias and that the law would not be applied in an equitable manner.”
CAIR has reported an unprecedented spike in bigotry targeting American Muslims, immigrants and members of other minority groups since the election of Donald Trump as president.
CAIR’s mission is to protect civil rights, enhance understanding of Islam, promote justice, and empower American Muslims.
La misión de CAIR es proteger las libertades civiles, mejorar la comprensión del Islam, promover la justicia, y empoderar a los musulmanes en los Estados Unidos.
