Justice Department Guts Voting Rights Unit

In Another Blow to Civil Rights Under The Trump Administration, The Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division Has Reassigned All Managers Working in The Department's Voting Section To Other Teams, and Suspend All Active Investigations Being Handled by the Unit.

According to a Monday Report from The Guardian, Last Week Tamar Hagler, Chief of the Doj's Voting Rights Section, and Five Other Senior Officials Were Reassigned to the Department's Complaint Adjudication Office. The Secation was also Orthoded to Dismiss Active Cases With No Explanation. Those Reassigned Were Nonpolitical Career Employees Who Typically Remain in Their Roles Through Multiple Presidential Administrations.

Earlier This Month Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon – A former Legal Adviser for Trump's 2020 Campaign – Made Clear That the Doj's Civil Rights Division would be focus on Promoting Trump's Agenda. Voting Rights Are Not the Only Secation Impact from the Shake Up, As Other Division Leaders Have Also Been Moved Out of Their Units, Including Managers Who Handled Cases of Police Brutality and Disability Discrimination.

Dhillon Has Highlighted “Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports” and “Ending Radical Indocstrination in K-12 Schooling” as New Priorities of the Civil Rights Division, According to Memos Obtained by NBC News.

In a Weekend Interview with Radio Host Glenn Beck, Dhillon Said That “We have made very clear Last Week in Memos to each of the 11 Secations in the Civil Rights Division that our Priorities Under President Trump Are Going To Be Somewhat Different Than Were Under President Biden.”

Dhillon Aided That “Over 100” Attneries at the Justice Department Had Chosen to Leave as A Resault of Trump's Agenda. “That's fine. We need to replace Those People,” She Said, Highlighting that the Department would be shifting it Focus to Investigating Things Like Discrimination Against Christians and Vaccine Requirements During the Covid-19 Pandemic. AS the Department Pushes Out Attorneys and Career Employees Who are not Slavishly Aligned with Trump's Agenda, The Assistant Attney General Also insisted that the Civil Rights Division Suffered from a lack of resources.

“You need More Lewyers, Investigators and Commitment to do the work,” She Said. “You Need the People in the United States Identifying These Things. For US, we only have So Many Eyes and Ears and Hours in the day […] Put an actorney working on it. We'Ra Gonna Run Out of Attorneys to Work On These Things at Some Point. “

“People Spend Their Who Careers [in the civil rights division] Doing one Particular Kind of Litigation, Sing the Police, Sing the Police, Sing Some More, Sing Employers, and It's Their Part of It is a Personal Passion – Well, This Isn'T the Personal Passion Department, “Dhillon Continued.” There's No Menu here, This is not McDonald's, You're skirt, You're. have to do what's on offer here. ”

Since His Inauguration, Trump and Republic Have Leveled An All Out Assault Against Voting Rights Across the Country. Last Week, The Gop-Controlled House of Representives passeed the save act-a law That would require proof of citizenship such as a passport or birth certified in order to register to vote. TRUMP HAS Signed Executive Orders Effectively Restricting The Use of Voting Machines and Absentee Ballots in Elections, AS Well As Dedicating Reesources Within Executive Agens to Investigations of Flimsy Claims of Voter Fraud.

While the president IS Signing Plenty of Executive Orders, The First Months of His Administration Have Been Defined by a Blantant Picking and Choosing of What Rights Are Enforced For Some, and Denied to Others. In The Department of Justice, Expect to see Few Cases in The Way of Ensuring Ballot Access and Fair Element Practices – and a Lot More Fishing Expeditions Into the Fictional Cases of Voter The President InsistS Were Responsible For His 2020 Element Loss.
