Harmeet Dhillon resigns from DOJ in first major postmidterm exit
Rebecca Beitsch reports in The Hill that Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, resigned on 5 November 2026, the first major Trump administration figure to exit after the Republicans' midterm battering. Attorney General Todd Blanche praised her service on X, while Stacey Young of the Justice Connection and former division staffers called her tenure destructive and said most of the division's staff left under her watch.
