DOJ employees resign rather than execute Trump's assault on civil rights

There is an alarming mass exodus happening at the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division. Over 100 attorneys have decided to resign rather than follow the Trump administration's oppressive agenda to weaponize the division against political enemies. The new leadership under Harmeet Dhillon has dropped voting rights cases against racial discrimination, abandoned pay discrimination lawsuits, and terminated environmental justice settlements. Instead, they are prioritizing unfounded claims of voter fraud, targeting trans athletes, and promoting English as the official language - moves clearly aimed at pushing Trump's divisive "culture war" platform. This extraordinary staff exodus sends an unmistakable message - career civil servants are unwilling to be complicit in undermining the division's core mission of protecting civil liberties. Dhillon's wildly inaccurate claims that employers discriminate through racial quotas indicate her decision-making is driven more by Trumpian rhetoric than upholding civil rights laws. The mass resignations lay bare the administration's attempts to gut this crucial division's purpose. Urgent action is needed to restore the Civil Rights Division's independence and recommit it to safeguarding the rights of all Americans without partisan interference. The rule of law demands a Civil Rights Division that serves the people, not any president's political agenda.
