Given the concerning history of Harmeet Dhillon's legal advocacy against transgender rights and protections, I urge you to oppose her confirmation as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. Her record of targeting hospitals providing gender-affirming care, challenging policies that respect transgender students' identities, and attempting to overturn laws in blue states that shield access to essential healthcare services for the transgender community is deeply troubling. Elevating someone with such adversarial views on transgender rights to lead the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division would be a profoundly damaging and regressive step. Instead of defending the civil liberties of all Americans, Dhillon's confirmation risks enabling discrimination and denial of basic rights for transgender individuals across the country. I hope you will stand firm in protecting the human rights and dignity of the transgender community by rejecting this nomination.
