President-elect Donald J. Trump has nominated Harmeet K. Dhillon as Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice. Dhillon, a prominent California attorney known for defending constitutional rights, has successfully challenged efforts to remove Trump from the ballot and represented Arizona Republicans in court. She has stood up to protect civil liberties, including challenging Big Tech censorship and fighting COVID-19 restrictions on religious gatherings. Her appointment is expected to bring much-needed reform to the Civil Rights Division and to address election issues.
