Dhillon Plans DOJ Civil Rights Exit After Democrats’ Sweep (1)
Bloomberg Law reports that Harmeet Dhillon plans to step down as head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division after the Democrats' midterm wins, which would make her the first senior department official to resign; her announcement is expected as soon as Thursday, per people familiar with the matter. Under her tenure, confirmed by the Senate in April 2025, the division has shifted toward conservative causes, and former officials say the department is bracing for more political appointees to exit before the New Year.
