Claim: Raffia Arshad is the first hijab-wearing judge in USA.
Fact-check: Raffia Arshad went on to become the first hijab-wearing judge in the UK, not the US - FACTLY
Verdict: raffia arshad is the first hijab-wearing judge in the uk and not the usa. in 2020, arshad has become the first deputy district judge to wear a hijab after she was appointed to the midlands circuit, uk. the anecdote about her attending an interview with hijab as against her family's advice is true. she herself shared the story on a facebook page and other media interviews. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
