US EditionCivil rights lawyers leave en masse as Justice Dept. mission shifts
- California's U.S. senators, including Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff, are seeking answers from Harmeet Dhillon about changes in the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, amid reports of senior leaders being pushed out and new directives being imposed that contradict its mission.
- Reports indicate that over 100 attorneys have opted for a deferred resignation program, leading to a significant decrease in staff within the division, which undermines its previous civil rights work.
- Dhillon has reportedly directed division staff to prioritize investigating election fraud and issues tied to the President's agenda, shifting focus away from protecting marginalized communities.
- Vanita Gupta, a former director of the Civil Rights Division, expressed alarm that the agency is now being used against the communities it was meant to protect, indicating a troubling shift under Trump's administration.
