Trump sees first post-midterm resignation as Harmeet Dhillon exits
Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General leading the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division since April 2025, has resigned — the first major departure from the Trump administration after the Republicans' midterm defeat, as Newsweek reports. Attorney General Todd Blanche confirmed it on X, praising her for having "enforced the law without fear or favor." Under her, the division pursued alleged noncitizen voting, suing states over voter rolls, while Bloomberg Law reports substantial departures of career attorneys.
