The new head of the Justice Department’s civil rights division is dramatically reshaping the office to propel President Donald Trump’s social agenda, prompting the departure of about half of the division’s lawyers in recent weeks, according to people familiar with the situation and public statements from top officials.

They’re not civil rights lawyers.
Good riddance.
Amen. Don’t let the door hit you on your way out, racist shysters.
Too bad - they have no useful employable skills. Maybe medical research...
Trump was wrong, I’m still not tired of winning yet.
Well, if it makes the ACLU and the SPLC cough up enough cash to add them to the staff, it'll be a bonus!
Watch that swinging door on your way out.
Impressive. Justice Dept, like State, haa needed cleaning for years. Keep up the good work.
The courts will soon be so back logged with suites they will give up and stop harassing Trump.
