Harmeet Dhillon

Harmeet Dhillon is a former lawyer who gained notoriety for helping Donald Trump's claims of a stolen 2020 presidential election. Recently, he was appointed to lead the US Justice Department's civil rights division, sparking controversy and criticism from former employees and civil rights advocates. The move has been seen as a result of Trump's influence on the agency, with many experts warning about the potential erosion of civil rights protections under his leadership. As the FBI investigates the fatal shooting of an unarmed US citizen by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis, Dhillon's appointment raises concerns about the department's commitment to enforcing America's civil rights laws. The decision not to investigate the incident has led to resignations among several attorneys in the civil rights division, further highlighting the controversy surrounding Dhillon's appointment.
