Harmeet Dhillon, who oversaw a mass staff exodus and radical reshaping of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division during an 18-month tenure as an assistant U.S. attorney general, said Friday she would be returning to her private practice to fight Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives and First Amendment violations.
Dhillon, a conservative attorney who provided legal counsel to President Donald Trump during his 2020 election campaign, said she would spearhead Dhillon Law Group’s “anti-woke corporate accountability initiative” by “challenging unlawful DEI policies,” characterizing DEI as employment practices that disadvantage American workers. She said she would also look to expand the firm’s First Amendment litigation, challenging “viewpoint discrimination” and its election law work.
