Story summary

Harmeet Dhillon, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice, resigned from her position on Thursday, November 3, 2026, just days after Democrats won control of Congress in midterm elections. Nominated by President Donald Trump in December 2024 and confirmed by the Senate in April 2025, Dhillon was known for shifting the division's focus towards conservative causes rather than protecting vulnerable communities. She is the first senior DOJ official to depart following Democrats' victory, which could lead to a broader exodus of staff from executive agencies as Democrats are expected to investigate these departments aggressively.
