California's U.S. senators are pressing for answers from Harmeet Dhillon, the current head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, following allegations of politically motivated changes to enforcement policies. A letter from seven Democratic senators highlighted rumors that Dhillon and her team have removed senior officials and replaced them with inexperienced political appointees. They express concern that new directives contradict the division's foundational missionâto protect voting rights and prevent discrimination across various sectors. The senators are seeking a review of these changes and related personnel shifts to ensure compliance with legislative intent.
