Democratic Colorado state Sen. Iman Jodeh, the state’s first Muslim lawmaker, announced a paid internship at the state capitol with qualifications requiring that candidates identify as Muslim or descend from predominantly Muslim regions of the world.
Jodeh posted the notice of the Legislative Intern Program and its qualifications Monday, less than a week after securing her seat in the midterm election.
“Gain first-hand experience at the Colorado Capitol in Sen. Jodeh and Rep. Zokaie’s offices!” the digital flyer said, adding that qualified candidates would receive a $1,000 stipend.
Along with qualifications expected for such a role, such as being an undergraduate student with a minimum 3.5 GPA and being flexible enough to work a part-time job during the 2027 legislative session, the first credentials listed are that the candidate must “Identify as a Muslim and/or as Middle Eastern, North African, or South Asian.”
Issued under the Middle Eastern, North African, South Asian (MENASA) & Muslim Joint Legislative Caucus, the flyer raised questions over state and federal anti-discrimination statutes governing public offices and paid positions.
“This is illegal,” Libs of TikTok shared Wednesday, echoing many comments under Jodeh’s advertisement on Instagram.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits hiring or firing based on national origin and religion, among other immutable characteristics. Colorado state law also prohibits discrimination against employees based on protected classes such as religion and national origin.
While similar lawmakers and private groups often work around this by inserting “interest in” or “commitment to” clauses, the MENASA & Muslim Joint Legislative Caucus listed the identity of a specific religion or ethnicity as the first qualification for a paid internship.
Jodeh, the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) did not respond to the Daily Caller’s request for comment by the time of publication.

clear in your face “come help take over”. no code words needed.
Iman Jodeh
It's time to ban muslims from the US.
Fascinating to contemplate how they’re all going back to whence they came.
By the way, this is one of those things you can file under
NOTHING CAN STOP WHAT IS COMING.
Islam has started its war to create worldwide Caliphate under Sharia Law in the US. Wake up before it is too late. If they win, Christians, Jews and all other folks will be forced to convert it Islam or probably lose their heads.
The Constitution says Religion van never be used as a qualifier or disqualifier. State does not override that.
This is my shocked face.
Good! Let her! That would free Christian lawmakers to hire only Christian interns. HA! Right.
Cue Gomer Pyle.
Another waste of Air and Money
Also a First Amendment violation.
Apparently no one reads the Constitution any more.
(Not aimed at you all.)
And from the rest of the planet.
No, it’s time for a Christian, conservative rep in Colorado to do the same thing only require the applicants be of European descent and verifiably of Christian heritage by showing membership in a recognized church.
Let see if the legislature allows that. If not, then out goes little Ms. Muslim’s internship. Or we go to court. Play their game. Make them live by their rules. If they want balkanization let’s give it to them. If you run an organization that promotes America and give out scholarships deny those scholarships to Muslim and foreign students.
‘Apparently no one reads the Constitution any more.‘
Sadly.
Muslim lawmaker = Oxymoron
If you don’t believe in their ways the Quran says you can murder them.
THAT is illegal, completely illegal. Wow, how do they get away with that stuff?
Sure would be nice if leftists had functioning minds.
Ban Islam. Full stop.
It is a political system pretending to be a religion.
Therefore, it is unconstitutional.
Down with it!
Jihad by “handsome means” (non violent). Political jihad Sharia law supercedes any infidel Constitution. When in America, do what Islam wants. In your face arrogant, MoFo jihadist.
