Harmeet Dhillon, a key appointee of the Trump administration, has resigned from her position as the assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice, sources revealed to Fox News. Sworn in during April 2025 after a December 2024 nomination by President Donald Trump, Dhillon’s departure comes in the immediate aftermath of the midterm elections, which saw significant losses for the Republican Party. This high-profile resignation follows her recent public defense of the Trump administration’s controversial investigation into noncitizen voters, a stance she articulated during a contentious interview where she pushed back against suggestions that such probes were intended to undermine election integrity, highlighting that the prosecution of such offenses, even by the subsequent Biden administration, underscores the reality of the issue.
