Rizvi’s intelligence work for the feds involved “focusing primarily on sanctioned finance operations,” according to her bio on Ropes & Gray’s website, which also touts her pro bono legal work.
She “maintains an active civil rights and human rights pro bono practice, focused on prison reform, LGBTQ equality, and immigration. She represents asylum seekers at various stages of litigation,” it says.
Her LinkedIn page says she worked for the feds from May 2008 to August 2013.
She also worked as a legal intern for the NYCLU from September 2014 to May 2015, and for the US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan from September 2015 to January 2016, according to the page.
Her bio at the Islamic Scholarship Fund added that “her high-value work would often inform the President’s Daily Briefs.”...

Both children of immigrants, they rose from working-class Brooklyn neighborhoods to win a long list of awards and campus leadership positions. Mr. Mattis graduated from Princeton University and New York University Law School, while Ms. Rahman went to Fordham University for college and law school.
As one friend put it, they were “N.Y.C. kids from impoverished backgrounds who made something of themselves.”...
