Harmeet Dhillon, controversial head of DoJ’s civil rights division, steps down
The Guardian reports that Harmeet Dhillon, head of the justice department's civil rights division and the first high-ranking official to leave after Democrats took Congress in the midterms, is stepping down, after reorienting the division away from protecting minorities, dropping discrimination cases, losing every voter-roll lawsuit, and seeing scores of career lawyers depart. Attorney general Todd Blanche praised her record, while former division lawyer Stacey Young calls her the most destructive head in DoJ history; Democrats are expected to investigate executive agencies.
