Since January 2025, over 250 attorneys—roughly 70%—have left, been reassigned, or accepted deferred resignation offers from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, signaling an unprecedented weakening of the agency responsible for enforcing federal civil rights law. This mass exodus follows the appointment of Trump ally Harmeet Dhillon, who has refocused the division’s priorities toward conservative causes such as voter fraud investigations and curbing transgender rights, while sidelining traditional civil rights enforcement in areas like housing discrimination, education, and police oversight.
Entire sections, including Voting Rights and Title VI enforcement, have been reduced to fewer than five attorneys—or none at all. Former DOJ officials warn that this undermines decades of institutional expertise and threatens the federal government’s capacity to uphold civil rights statutes. Critics also condemned Dhillon’s celebratory tone regarding the resignations and her remarks framing the former staff as ideologically driven rather than committed civil servants. Observers fear the administration will now fill these vacancies with politically loyal appointees, further eroding the division’s nonpartisan foundation.

A good start.
Let’s target 95%
Child molesters are saddened.
So Trump is draining the swamp? Great news indeed.
Trump should have sent ICE after those lowlifes.
It’s a good start. Not one of these “civil rights” lawyers has done anything to go after states and cities where politicians illegally restrict citizen’s inalienable right to keep and bear arms.
The 1964 Civil Rights Act and federal civil rights laws are UTTERLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND MUST BE ABOLISHED!!!
Winning!
When there are too many people with not enough REAL things to do they become much more active in creating work (finding problems where none exist) for themselves. Yes, clearly a REDUCTION in this area was needed.
“Harmeet Dhillon, who has refocused the division’s priorities toward conservative causes such as voter fraud investigations and curbing transgender rights, “
I don’t think mentally ill people have the “right” to pick the bathroom they want to use. It’s like saying the police are curbing the “rights” of those who want to peep into other people’s windows.
And that’s a bad thing? Hopefully, more judges will retire. Many are simply woke lawyers w/a robe on.
Indeed, but like the Sardaukar, they leave behind suicide attorneys, secretly planted throughout the organization, whose role is to disrupt the new administration.
Former DOJ officials warn that this undermines decades of institutional expertise
Why does the DOJ need lawyers? The Skanky Caribbean Dingbat Court Judgettes walk all over their butts.(”temporarily, at least for now”.) The Party of Death owns the judiciary now with all their dizzy Dingbat broads from Jamaica, Africa, India, Japan, China, Haiti Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and other garbage dump islands.
Yes, I voted for this!
How can the DOJ undo all those consent degrees that hamstrung local police departments?
