In a recent revelation, Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, shed light on the tumultuous state of affairs she encountered upon joining the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the new Trump administration.
Dhillon shared her experiences during a podcast with Tucker Carlson, as reported by the Daily Caller. She disclosed that the DOJ's Civil Rights division was in a state of disarray following President Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 elections.
Lawyers within the division were reportedly holding "unhappy hours" and "crying sessions," with some even resigning. Dhillon attributed this upheaval not merely to Trump's win, but to the realization that their unchecked authority was coming to an end.
"They weren't going to be able to do those the way that they wanted," Dhillon told Carlson. She further elaborated, "There were career lawyers there who were doing the same thing, no matter who is the president. Suddenly, their little fiefdom that had remained untouched, like Shangri-La, was suddenly having to be responsive to elections."
Upon assuming her role, Dhillon sought to realign the division's focus towards enforcing the Trump administration's agenda. This included investigations into the inclusion of men in women's sports, the rise in antisemitism, and anti-Christian bias.
"The zealous and faithful pursuit of this section's mission requires the full dedication of this section's resources, attention and energy to the priorities of the president," Dhillon wrote in an email to the staff, as quoted by the New York Times.
This shift in focus sent the left-leaning lawyers, whom Dhillon described as activists, into a frenzy. They were reportedly "crying in the halls" and displaying solidarity by leaving the building together, as if they were persecuted, according to Dhillon.
The irony of this situation is not lost, considering these individuals were working in the Civil Rights division. The division's mandate includes addressing pressing civil rights issues such as the controversy surrounding women being compelled to share locker rooms and compete against men in sports. It also involves dealing with the impact of DOJ and FBI investigations on Christian pro-life activists and their families under the Biden Administration.
These lawyers, who had previously targeted conservatives without remorse, were now portraying themselves as victims because they were asked to cease their discrimination against the right and protect Americans from left-wing ideologies.
Dhillon's revelations, while not surprising, underscore the left's inability to set aside their political ideologies and work for the American people. The situation at the DOJ is indicative of a broader issue within left-wing politics. It highlights the unwillingness of these activists to perform the basic duties of their jobs, rendering them unfit for public office.
This revelation should serve as a wake-up call for voters, prompting a movement to prevent such individuals from gaining control in our government in the future. They simply have not demonstrated the merit required to represent the American people.
