Harmeet Dhillon Resigns from DOJ Civil Rights Division Following Midterm Losses

Harmeet Dhillon, the controversial head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and a staunch ally of Trump, has announced her resignation. This decision comes on the heels of significant Republican losses in the midterm elections. Dhillon, who played a prominent role in reshaping the Civil Rights Division during her tenure, was reportedly asked by the White House to wait until after the midterms to step down. Her exit marks one of the first significant shake-ups within the DOJ following the election results, as her tenure was marked by contentious initiatives and policies that garnered substantial criticism.
