BREAKING: “Bloodbath” at DOJ Civil Rights Division as Harmeet Dhillon cleans house — NBC News
-Career officials are melting down.
The Trump administration has forced out a majority of career managers and implemented new priorities.
-More than a dozen senior lawyers have been reassigned.
-Some have resigned in frustration after being moved to “less desirable roles unrelated to their expertise.”
-The division is now charged with pursuing priorities laid out in a series of Trump’s executive orders, including “Keeping Men out of Women's Sports” and “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling.”
-"These documents appear to have been created in a vacuum completely divorced from reality," a former official whined. “This is a 180 shift from the division’s traditional mission.”
-Many section chiefs have been transferred to roles unrelated to their legal backgrounds, including in the complaint adjudication office and the office that handles public records requests. 😂
-“I was there almost 18 years, and what’s happening now is basically the opposite of what we’ve been doing,” whined one veteran lawyer who recently left the department.
-“They are withdrawing everything we’ve done and taking the opposite side on voting rights, for example,” whined a recently departed Civil Division lawyer.
-Dhillon’s memo outlines new priorities, including “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism,” “Restoring Merit Based Opportunity” and “Designating English as the Official Language of the United States.”
-The “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias” task force will be a focus. “The Biden administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses,” Pam Bondi said at a meeting of the new task force.
